Degree of lesions in the pancreas of the T2DM model animals after treatment with HC and SO for 28 days.

Pancreas	Control	HC	SO
Decrease, β-cell, islet, focal	3.80 ± 0.45	3.00 ± 0.71	2.60 ± 0.55
Atrophy, acinar cell, diffuse	4.00 ± 0.00	3.40 ± 0.89	2.80 ± 1.10

The degree of lesions was graded from one to five depending on severity: 1 = minimal (<1%); 2 = slight (1–25%); 3 = moderate (26–50%); 4 = moderate/severe (51–75%); 5 = severe/high (76–100%).
