C: normoglycemic control group having received unaltered commercial chow; CA: normoglycemic control group having received chow with A. sylvaticus; D: diabetic group having received unaltered commercial chow; DA: diabetic group having received commercial chow with A. sylvaticus; values are mean of 5 animals. Different letters on lines indicate statistically significant differences among groups (P < 0.01; ANOVA + Tukey’s test).
