[Retracted] Antidiabetic Effect of Tamarindus indica and Momordica charantia and Downregulation of TET-1 Gene Expression by Saroglitazar in Glucose Feed Adipocytes and Their Involvement in the Type 2 Diabetes-Associated Inflammation In Vitro

Table 3

In streptozotocin-induced diabetic male albino rats with liver and kidney GOT and GPT activities, aqueous seed extracts of Tamarindus indica and Momordica charantia (mean ± S.D.) were compared to their aqueous seed extracts after 7 days and 14 days.
