Figure 2

Advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) level in normal, control, and experimental groups of Wistar rats. AOPP was significantly ( ) increased in alloxan-induced diabetic group of rats compared to control. Oral administration of CE dose 25, 50, and 100 mg/kg body weight and subcutaneous injection of insulin up to 35 days significantly ( and * ) decreased AOPP level compared to diabetic control group. AOPP level is expressed in μmol·L−1 chloramine-T equivalents. Values are given as mean ± S.D. for 6 rats in each group.
