Effect of GTE (1.5%, w/v) on hepatic injuries of diabetic rats (mean ± SEM).

Groups	Treatment	Degree of liver tissue injury	The Kruskal-Wallis test
1	Healthy control rats	0.0±0.0
2	Nondiabetic rats + GTE (1.5%, w/v) treatment	0.0±0.0	𝑃<0.001
3	Diabetic rats	2.80 ± 0.65^a
4	Diabetic rats + GTE (1.5%, w/v) treatment	0.85 ± 0.17^b

0 = without injury, 1 = minimum injury, 2 = mild injury, 3 = moderate injury, 4 = sever injury (𝑛=10)acompared to Group 1, bcompared to Group 3.
