Values are expressed as mean ± SEM for ten rats in each group. Data analyzed using two-way ANOVA. ap < 0.05 between the normal control (C) and diabetic control (D). bp < 0.05 between the diabetic control (D) and diabetic TL treatment (D + TL). cp < 0.05 between the normal control (C) and the normal TL treatment (C + TL). dp < 0.05 between the normal TL treatment (C + TL) and diabetic TL treatment (D + TL).
