Organ weights and relative organ weights of diabetic and non-diabetic rats.

	Liver weight (g)	Kidney weight (g)	Relative liver weight (g/100 g)	Relative kidney weight (g/100 g)
Group 1 (control)	5.85±0.30	1.33±0.33	2.72±0.16	0.61±0.11
Group 2	4.29±0.23^b	1.34±0.12	3.30±0.02^b	1.03±0.03^b
Group 3	4.64±0.12^b	1.31±0.16	3.69±0.05^a	1.04±0.09^b
Group 4	4.55±0.24^b	1.00±0.16	2.94±0.17^a	0.64±0.03^c
Group 5	3.70±0.00^c	1.00±0.00	3.23±0.09^b	0.87±0.02^a

Values are presented as means ± SD. 𝑛=6; ^a𝑃<0.05 versus diabetic control; ^b𝑃<0.05 in comparison with normal control; ^c𝑃>0.05 in comparison with normal control.
