Effect of ASSE and metformin on body weight of STZ-nicotinamide-induced diabetic rats. The values are mean ± SEM (n = 6). One-way ANOVA [F(4,25) = 0.8272, p > 0.05 for day 1; F(4,25) = 0.2001, p > 0.05 for day 5; F(4,25) = 0.7042, p > 0.05 for day 10; F(4,25) = 1.507, p > 0.05 for day 15; F(4,25) = 2.268, p > 0.05 for day 20; F(4,25) = 1.876, p > 0.05 for day 25; F(4,25) = 2.257, p > 0.05 for day 30] followed by Tukey-Kramer multiple comparisons test. There were no statistically significant differences found between the groups in body weight.
