Values are presented as means ± SD. n = 5; one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used for the comparison of means. Differences between means were significant at p < 0.05 using the Bonferroni’s multiple comparison test. a p < 0.05 in comparison with the normal control group; b p < 0.05 in comparison with STZ (diabetic control) group. i/c, Increase; d/c, Decrease.
