Code	Treatment	The number of islets of Langerhans	The area of islets of Langerhans (µm ² )	The percentage of pancreatic beta cells (%)
A	Normal rats	9.00 ± 1.41^*	868,761 ± 135.20^*	69.83 ± 1.79^*
B	Normal rats receiving AND suspension	7.50 ± 1.29^*	623,046 ± 13.99^*	66.12 ± 8.6^*
C	Diabetic rats receiving ASNE	5.75 ± 2.36^*	387,161 ± 64.00^*	61.70 ± 1.12^*
D	Diabetic rats receiving AND suspension	5.25 ± 1.50^*	681,929 ± 157.41^*	65.49 ± 0.48^*
