Day 0 | Day 15 | Day 30 | |
N | 9.52 ± 0.04a | 9.34 ± 0.05a | 9.15 ± 0.28a |
DM | 9.53 ± 0.24b | 9.15 ± 0.10ab | 8.63 ± 0.03a |
DM + BSL | 9.37 ± 0.02a | 9.50 ± 0.29a | 9.68 ± 0.14b |
DM + R23 | 9.21 ± 0.05a | 9.41 ± 0.05a | 9.80 ± 0.15b |
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.
