| Groups | 0 h | 60 min | 120 min | 180 min |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control | 90 ± 6.21 | 140 ± 10.23 | 110 ± 5.21 | 100 ± 4.45 |
| Diabetes | 190 ± 12.48a | 220 ± 13.45a | 217 ± 12.16a | 200 ± 11.66a |
| Diab + β-sitosterol | 120 ± 9.28ab | 135 ± 10.35b | 130 ± 8.42b | 120 ± 6.78b |
| Diab + metformin | 100 ± 6.48abc | 140 ± 9.25b | 130 ± 9.56b | 100 ± 7.21b |
The results of 6 rats in each group are shown as the mean ± SEM. Values were compared as follows: a—with control; b—with diabetic control; and c—with β-sitosterol-treated diabetic group at p < 0.05 significance.
