Blood glucose levels and body weights of mice. (A) Increase in body weight after high fat diet (HFD) rearing. (B) No significant difference in body weight between diabetic mice treated with 20, 10, and 0 mg/kg pioglitazone (PGZ). (C) Increase in blood glucose levels after streptozotocin (STZ) injection. (D) Diabetic mice treated with 20 mg/kg PGZ for 2 weeks had a lower level of blood sugar than those treated with 10 and 0 mg/kg PGZ (* p < 0.05).
