Effect of fermented red bean extract (NRBE) on fasting glucose and adiponectin concentration in diabetic rats.

NRBE treatment	Measurement	NC	DC	L	M	H
Before	Fasting glucose (mg/dL)	88.0 ± 17.9	383.1 ± 11.8*a	385.8 ± 26.4a	385.5 ± 74.8a	387.3 ± 24.7a
After	Fasting glucose (mg/dL)	91.3 ± 3.21	489.6 ± 19.2*a	444.5 ± 20.6b	456.4 ± 12.0ab	470.1 ± 6.5ab
	Adiponectin (μg/dL)	6.6 ± 0.2	2.0 ± 0.3*a	3.6 ± 0.4 b	4.4 ± 0.3b	3.9 ± 0.3b

¹Values are mean ± SEM, 8 rats per group.

²NC: normal control, DC: diabetic control, L: diabetes with low dose of NRBE (100 mg/kg BW), M: diabetes with medium dose of NRBE (200 mg/kg BW), H: diabetes with high dose of NRBE (500 mg/kg BW).

^*Significantly different with NC at p < 0.05.

^a~bMeans not sharing a common superscript in the same row are significantly different at p < 0.05.
