Values are means of ten replicates ± SEM.
Values with different superscripts are significantly different from each other (p < 0.05). Where: Control = non-diabetic rats receiving 1 ml of distilled water; DC = diabetic rats receiving 1 ml of distilled water; RD = diabetic rats receiving standard drug; F5 = diabetic rats receiving chromatographic fraction 5; F7 = diabetic rats receiving chromatographic fraction 7.
