Figure 2
Effect of cisplatin and combination of cisplatin with telmisartan on change in (a) rate of pressure development and decay and (b) serum insulin levels. Each bar represents mean ± SEM of 6 experiments analyzed at the end of 24 weeks.*Significantly different from control group (), #significantly different from cancer control group (), CON: normal control, COC: control treated with cisplatin (0.23 mg/kg), COCT: control treated with cisplatin (0.23 mg/kg) + telmisartan (5 mg/kg/day), ORN: oral cancer control, ORC: oral cancer treated with cisplatin (0.23 mg/kg), and ORCT: oral cancer treated with cisplatin (0.23 mg/kg) + telmisartan (5 mg/kg/day).
