Table 1.

Feed consumption and body weight in experimental groups.

Parameters	N	DM	DM + BSL	DM + R23
Feed consumption (g/day)	17.07 ± 1.36^a	19.14 ± 0.79^b	19.82 ± 0.32^b	19.15 ± 0.75^b
Initial body weight (g)	232 ± 15.11^a	234 ± 12.08^a	240 ± 18.92^a	224 ± 23.80^a
Final body weight (g)	290 ± 15.66^b	222 ± 11.48^a	228 ± 16.29^a	212 ± 23.65^a
Weight change (g)	(+)58 ± 4.34^b	(-)12 ± 1.94^a	(-)12 ± 5.01^a	(-)12 ± 2.14^a

The values are expressed as the means ± SD (n = 6). Means within a row with different superscript letters are significantly different (P < 0.05). N = nondiabetic control group; DM = diabetic control group; DM + BSL = STZ treated with L. rhamnosus BSL; DM + R23 = STZ treated with L. rhamnosus R23. (+) increased in weight change; (-) decreased in weight change.
