Evolution in body weight throughout the experimental period (a) and percentage change in body weight in diabetic rats (b). Data are shown as mean ± SEM, n = 5;  < 0.05,  < 0.01, and  < 0.001: significant as compared to normal control; ^# < 0.05, ^## < 0.01, and ^### < 0.001: significant as compared to diabetic control; Met 200: diabetic animals receiving metformin at 200 mg/kg b.w.; SNP 150, 300: diabetic animals receiving the aqueous extract of the mixture at 150 and 300 mg/kg b.w.
