Scorpion in Combination with Gypsum: Novel Antidiabetic Activities in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Mice by Up-Regulating Pancreatic PPARγ and PDX-1 Expressions
Figure 6
PPARγ and PDX-1 expressions in pancreatic tissues of mice after 5 weeks of treatment. N, Normal control mice; 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 + M, diabetic mice treated with metformin (250 mg kg−1 per day). Data were expressed as mean ± SD (n = 5). aa “D” versus “N”; bb, “D + SG” versus “D”; cc “D + M” versus “D”.
