NC = normal control, DC = diabetic control, SM = diabetic rats that received soymilk, FSM = diabetic rats that received fermented soymilk, FSM + omega-3 = diabetic rats that received fermented soymilk fortified with omega-3. Data are presented as mean ± SD. In each column, figures bearing different superscripts are significantly different at (one way ANOVA with repeated measures).
