Protective Effect of Proanthocyanidin against Diabetic Oxidative Stress

Table 1

Serum glucose and glycosylated protein levels in STZ-induced diabetic rats.

Group	Glucose	Glycosylated protein
	(mg/dL)	(nmol/mg protein)
ND	116.5 ± 4.2^b	28.30 ± 1.20^b
DC	591.3 ± 18.4	46.84 ± 1.42
DP	583.8 ± 18.0	44.11 ± 1.13
DO	532.8 ± 9.0^a	40.60 ± 1.90^a

The results are expressed as the mean ± SEM. Significance: ^a𝑃<0.05, ^b𝑃<0.001 versus DC. ND, nondiabetic normal rats; DC, diabetic control rats; DP, polymeric proanthocyanidin 10 mg/kg body weight-treated diabetic rats; DO, oligomeric proanthocyanidin 10 mg/kg body weight-treated diabetic rats.
