Table 6

Effect of administration of L. sativum and cinnamon methanol extracts for 4 weeks on urine albumin and creatinine in diabetic rats.

Parameters; mg/dL	Statistics	G1; Negative control	G2; Positive control	G3; L. sativum extract	G4; Cinnamon extract
Urine albumin	Mean ± SE	22.16 ± 1.70	411.50 ± 7.74	291.50 ± 2.36	163.50 ± 2.98
	LSD 0.05 = 13.638
	-test	—	−47.24	16.17	24.64
Urine creatinine	Mean ± SE	85.00 ± 0.85	27.00 ± 0.36	45.83 ± 1.57	62.16 ± 1.19
	LSD 0.05 = 3.148
	-test	—	84.90	−11.61	−37.18

Data are represented as mean ± SE. For -test values, is significant at . For ANOVA analysis, within each row, means with different superscript (a, b, c, or d) are significantly different at , whereas means superscripts with the same letters mean that there is no significant difference at . LSD: least significant difference.
