Antihyperglycemic Activity of Houttuynia cordata Thunb. in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats

Figure 7

Effect of HC (100, 200 and 400 mg/kg) on STZ-induced changes in the levels of expression of GLUT-2 in liver and pancreas. The blots (a) are representative of GLUT-2 in liver and pancreas. The results in the histogram (b) are expressed as ratio of relative intensity of levels of protein expression of GLUT-2 to β-Actin. All values are mean±SEM of three separate sets of independent experiments. ^a𝑃<0.05 compared to normal control; ^b𝑃<0.05 compared to diabetic control; ^c𝑃<0.05 compared to glibenclamide; ^d𝑃<0.05 compared to HC 100; ^e𝑃<0.05 compared to HC 200 (one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test).
