Table 2.
Body weights, blood glucose, and insulin levels in different groups.
Parameters | Control | ADAE | STZ | ADAE + STZ |
---|---|---|---|---|
Glucose (mg/dl) | 108 ± 2.70c | 101 ± 3.12c | 356 ± 9.82a | 195 ± 5.60b |
Insulin hormone (µU/ml) | 11.43 ± 0.352a | 10.93 ± 0.281a | 6.52 ± 0.217c | 9.38 ± 0.170b |
C-peptide (ng/ml) | 0.62 ± 0.002a | 0.52 ± 0.01a | 0.061 ± 0.003c | 0.29 ± 0.002b |
Initial body weight (g) | 155 ± 2.69 | 159 ± 3.02 | 156 ± 2.61 | 155 ± 2.16 |
Final body weight (g) | 217 ± 2.24a | 224 ± 4.67a | 174 ± 3.82c | 198 ± 3.82b |
Weight gain (g) | 62 ± 4.21a | 65 ± 5.96a | 18 ± 3.97c | 42 ± 2.78b |
Values are expressed as means ± SE (n = 6) for each treatment group. a, b, cMean values within a row not sharing a common superscript letter were significantly different, p < 0.05. Statistically significant variations are compared as follows: the ADAE and STZ groups compared with the control group and the ADAE + STZ group compared with the STZ group. Weight gain = final body weight – initial body weight.
