Biochemical factors in different experimental groups

Groups	FPG (mg/dl)	Insulin (mIU/l)	HbA1c (%)	Liver AGE (ng/ml)	Vitamin D (ng/ml)	Calcium (mg/dl)
Control	85.87±12.63	3.37±0.83	4.65±0.50	103.78±13.71	20.93±2.49	9.27±0.59
Diabetic	479.37±27.90*	2.15±0.79*	8.75±0.48*	123.98±10.79*	21.33±2.44	9.47±0.41
Diabetic + vitamin D	428.87±37.74*#	3.31±0.65#	8.30±0.55*	118.72±12.58*	35.42±3.96*#	9.52±0.95

Data are presented as the Mean ± SD (n = 8 for all groups). FPG, fasting plasma glucose; AGE, advanced glycation end products. Statistical differences were determined using ANCOVA followed by a Bonferroni post hoc test;

^*, P < 0.05 compared to the control group;

^#, P < 0.05 compared to the diabetic group.
