Serum glucose concentration in different animal groups.

	Initial serum glucose (mg/dL)	Final serum glucose (mg/dL)
Normal^a (saline treated)	—	129 ± 9
Diabetic control^a (Saline treated)	400 ± 9	431 ± 13^b
Garlic-treated diabetic^a (500 mg/kg garlic)	400 ± 9^c	237 ± 8^c

^an = 10 for all groups.
^b Significally different compared to normal (P < .05).
^c Significally different compared to initial and final diabetic controls (P < .001).
