The data are expressed as mean ± SEM. The comparisons were made by one way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s test.

^*p< 0.05 is considered significant when compared to the control group (0 h)

^**p< 0.001 is considered very significant when compared to the control group (0 h)

^***p< 0.001 is considered extremely significant when compared to the control group (0 h).

^a – compared to normal; * – compared to diabetic control
