Values were expressed as mean ± standard error. ***P < 0.001, compared with normal control group. +++P < 0.001, compared with diabetic group. $P < 0.05, $$P < 0.01, compared with diabetic group treated with free POL (Diabetic + POL). STZ: streptozotocin, POL: polydatin, POL-NPs: polydatin-loaded chitosan nanoparticles, FBG: fasting blood glucose, PBG: postprandial blood glucose, HbA1c: blood glycosylated hemoglobin. AGEs: Advanced glycation-end products
