Fasting blood sugar, serum insulin level, and ISI on 60th day (, ).

Treatment	Fasting blood sugar (mmol/L)	Insulin (mU/L)	ISI	HOMA-
Blank control	4.7 ± 0.4	20.67 ± 7.29	−4.6 ± 0.3	344.5 ± 28.4
Experimental control	4.9 ± 0.4	25.54 ± 5.36	−4.8 ± 0.2	364.9 ± 30.1
Radiation	5.2 ± 0.6	33.17 ± 5.96^ab	−5.1 ± 0.2^ab	390.2 ± 21.9^ab
VE deficiency	5.1 ± 0.6	28.71 ± 2.78^ab	−5.0 ± 0.2^ab	358.9 ± 25.3^ab
VE deficiency/radiation	5.4 ± 0.7	43.74 ± 5.81^abcd	−5.5 ± 0.2^abcd	460.4 ± 31.7^abcd

^aP < 0.05 versus blank control, ^bP < 0.05 versus experimental control, ^cP < 0.05 versus VE deficiency, and ^dP < 0.05 versus radiation.
