A Dioxidovanadium Complex cis-[VO2 (obz) py] Attenuates Hyperglycemia in Streptozotocin (STZ)-Induced Diabetic Male Sprague-Dawley Rats via Increased GLUT4 and Glycogen Synthase Expression in the Skeletal Muscle

Table 2

Liver and muscle glycogen measurements of nondiabetic control (ND), diabetic control (DC), and diabetic animals treated with insulin (SC Ins 175 μg/kg) and vanadium complex (VC).

Experimental groups	Glycogen muscle (nmol/g)	Glycogen liver (nmol/g)
NC	0.13 ± 0.01	0.19 ± 0.03
DC	0.07 ± 0.00^#	0.10 ± 0.01^#
SC Ins (175 μg/kg)	0.12 ± 0.01	0.17 ± 0.03
VC (40 mg/kg)	0.11 ± 0.01	0.14 ± 0.00

 < 0.05 by comparison with the DC.  < 0.05 by comparison with the NC. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM, n = 6 in each group.
