C1: one-week control; M1: one-week control treated with melatonin; D1: one-week diabetic; MD1: one-week diabetic treated with melatonin; C2: two-month control; M2: two-month control treated with melatonin; D2: two-month diabetic; MD2: two-month diabetic treated with melatonin ( animals/group). Different lowercase letters indicate statistical differences among short-term experimental groups (parametric data: prostate and epididymis weight; nonparametric data: body and testis weight and blood glucose levels). Different uppercase letters indicate statistical differences among long-term experimental groups (parametric data: prostate weight; nonparametric data: body, testis and epididymis weight, and blood glucose levels). Indicates a statistical difference between experimental periods (parametric data). #Indicates a statistical difference between experimental periods (nonparametric data). |
