TABLE 3.

Wet weight of the quadriceps femoris muscle (g) (Mean ± SEM) measured at the time of tissue collection for morphological and biochemical studies. Note significantly decreased wet weight of the quadriceps femoris muscle in diabetic groups (D3W and D6W) compared to respective control groups (***, p < 0.001).

Wet weight of Quadriceps femoris muscle (g) (Mean ± SEM)
Groups	Week3	Groups	Week6
C3W(n=12)	3.29 ± 0.01	C6W(n=12)	3.52 ± 0.01
H3W(n=12)	3.29 ± 0.02	H6W(n=12)	3.51 ± 0.03
D3W(n=12)	2.28 ± 0.03***	D6W(n=12)	2.43 ± 0.01***
DH3W(n=12)	2.51 ± 0.01###	DH6W(n=12)	2.66 ± 0.014###

The Quadriceps femoris muscle weight was significantly increased in diabetic rats exposed to heat therapy (DH3W and DH6W) compared to respective diabetic groups (###, p < 0.001).
