Enhancement of antioxidant enzymes and reduction in lipid peroxidation on phloroglucinol treatment. A, Diabetic rats showed decreased (a) GSH levels and increased (a) levels of TBARS (B) compared to normal rats. Phloroglucinol treatment significantly improved (b) GSH levels and decreased TBARS levels in diabetic rats. Values are represented as means ± SEM (n = 6). Significance was assessed by one‐way ANOVA followed by Dunnet's multiple comparison test: a, vs normal control group; b, vs diabetic control group. NC, normal control; DC, diabetic control; Phloro(100), 100 mg/kg phloroglucinol; Phloro(200), 200 mg/kg phloroglucinol
