Scorpion in Combination with Gypsum: Novel Antidiabetic Activities in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Mice by Up-Regulating Pancreatic PPARγ and PDX-1 Expressions
Figure 1
Changes in fasting blood glucose levels with time (0–6 weeks) in mice. To be specific, the tested samples were continually given for 5 weeks and then cancelled for 1 week. N, Normal control mice; N + SG, normal mice treated with the aqueous extracts of scorpion (350 mg kg−1 per day) combined with gypsum (350 mg kg−1 per day); D, diabetic control mice; D + SG, diabetic mice treated with scorpion (350 mg kg−1 per day) combined with gypsum (350 mg kg−1 per day); D + G, diabetic mice treated with gypsum (350 mg kg−1 per day); D + S, diabetic mice treated with scorpion (350 mg kg−1 per day); D + M, diabetic mice treated with metformin (250 mg kg−1 per day). Data were expressed as mean ± SD (n = 10). aa “D” versus “N”; b “D + SG” versus “D”; c “D + M” versus “D”.
