IHZ attenuates insulin resistance in HF with low STZ induced diabetic rats. Rats were fed with High Fructose (HF, 20%) water for 6 weeks and single dose of STZ (35 mg/kg, i.p.) was administered at the end of 5th week, with or without IHZ (25 mg/kg, p.o.) for 6 weeks. Analysis of body weight was done every week and biochemical parameters were carried out in plasma on 0, 14, 35 and 42 days from different animal groups. (a) Change in weight of animals during the study period. (b) Change in plasma cholesterol levels as measured using commercial kit over the course of the study on specified days. (c) Change in plasma glucose levels measured by glucometer on specified days. (d) Levels of low density Lipids (LDL) measured with commercial kit. Data is presented as mean ± SD of n = 6 animals for each group. ***P < 0.001 vs control group; %P < 0.05, %%%P < 0.001 vs HF + STZ group.
