Average body weight (g), food intake (g/rat), and water in GAWE and GAME type 1 diabetes treated rats. In diabetic rats, a decrease in body weight and an increase in water and food consumption were observed.
| Body weight | Food consumption (g/rat/day) | Water consumption (ml/rat/day) | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| W1 | W2 | W3 | W1 | W2 | W3 | W1 | W2 | W3 | |
| Nondiabetic (NC) | 181 ± 11 | 197 ± 13 | 221 ± 13 | 19.71 ± 3 | 18.73 ± 5 | 20.13 ± 5 | 18.7 | 19.3 | 19.73 |

In GAME- or GAWE-treated diabetic rats, a minor decrease in body weight was observed; however, food and water consumption increased.
