Measurements by the homeostatic model assessment (HOMA) of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and insulin-sensitivity (HOMA-IS) of β-cell function using the changes in insulin and glucose concentrations after subcutaneous insulin and TTA-DFP-nCOF/insulin treatment of diabetic rats. Each value represents mean ± S.D. (n = 3).

	S.C. insulin	TTA-DFP-nCOF/insulin
HOMA-IR	0.6 (0.3)	0.5 (0.1)
HOMA-IS	50.4 (11.0)	54.4 (13.2)
