Results presented as Mean $\pm$ SD (n = 6) using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's test (p $<$ 0.05), C: Control rats, G: Rats that received aqueous garlic extract, D1: STZ-induced diabetic rats, D1 + G: STZ-induced diabetic rats treated with aqueous garlic extract, D2: STZ + nicotinamide-induced diabetic rats, D2 + G: STZ + nicotinamide-induced diabetic rats treated with aqueous garlic extract. TAC: Total antioxidant capacity, TOS: Total oxidative status, LPO: Lipid peroxidation. ${}^a$ Compared with control rats, ${}^b$ Compared with D1, ${}^c$ Compared with D2. ${}^{*}$ P $<$ 0.01, ${}^{\Delta }$ P = 0.01
