Values are considered significantly different at P < 0.05 with post hoc LSD test *P < 0.05.

The symbols a, b c and d also represent the statistical significance at p < 0.05.

^a Control vs Drug control rats(normal rats received biflavonoid alone).

^b Control vs Diabetic rats.

^c Diabetic control rats.vs Diabetic rats treated with biflavonoid (80 mg/kg).

^d Diabetic rats treated with biflavonoid (80 mg/kg) vs Diabetic rats treated with Metformin (500 mg/kg).
