Body weights, blood glucose, and insulin levels in different groups.

Parameters	Control	ADAE	STZ	ADAE + STZ
Glucose (mg/dl)	108 ± 2.70^c	101 ± 3.12^c	356 ± 9.82^a	195 ± 5.60^b
Insulin hormone (µU/ml)	11.43 ± 0.352^a	10.93 ± 0.281^a	6.52 ± 0.217^c	9.38 ± 0.170^b
C-peptide (ng/ml)	0.62 ± 0.002^a	0.52 ± 0.01^a	0.061 ± 0.003^c	0.29 ± 0.002^b
Initial body weight (g)	155 ± 2.69	159 ± 3.02	156 ± 2.61	155 ± 2.16
Final body weight (g)	217 ± 2.24^a	224 ± 4.67^a	174 ± 3.82^c	198 ± 3.82^b
Weight gain (g)	62 ± 4.21^a	65 ± 5.96^a	18 ± 3.97^c	42 ± 2.78^b

Values are expressed as means ± SE (n = 6) for each treatment group. ^{a, b, c}Mean values within a row not sharing a common superscript letter were significantly different, . Statistically significant variations are compared as follows: the ADAE and STZ groups compared with the control group and the ADAE + STZ group compared with the STZ group. Weight gain = final body weight – initial body weight.
