Values are expressed as mean ± SE (n = 6).
Multiple group comparisons were performed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison post hoc test at p ≤ 0.05.
a
P ≤ 0.05, statistically significant from the normal control (NC) group.
b
P ≤ 0.05, statistically significant from the diabetic control (DC) group.
c
P ≤ 0.05, statistically significant from GLB group.
