  1. Values are expressed as mean ± SD in each group. NM group: normal control rats treated with vehicle alone; NM + AEHE group: normal control rats treated with AEHE (100 mg/kg b.w.); DM group: diabetic control rats treated with vehicle alone; DM + LAEHE group: diabetic rats were given AEHE (100 mg/kg b.w.); DM + HAEHE group: diabetic rats were given AEHE (200 mg/kg b.w.); DM + Gli group: diabetic rats were given glibenclamide (30 mg/kg b.w.). aindicates statistical significance of P < 0.01 compared to the NM group; bindicates statistical significance of P < 0.01 compared to the DM group.
