Table 4

Mean levels of insulin and glucose levels in the blood and brain tissues in control, NASH, and berberine treated groups.

Groups	Insulin (pg/L)	Glucose (mg/dL)	HOMA-IR	Insulin (pg/l0 g)	Glucose (mg/10 g)
Control	10.2 ± 1.1	78 ± 2.9	1.9 ± 0.007	3.5 ± 0.2	5.3 ± 0.4
Berberine control	9.9 ± 0.2	60 ± 3.2	1.5 ± 0.009	3.2 ± 0.2	5.1 ± 0.1
NASH group	20 ± 1.9	180 ± 12	8.9 ± 0.1	10.2 ± 0.9	1.2 ± 0.2
Berberine treatment	10.1 ± 0.7	90 ± 8.4	2.2 ± 0.004	4.9 ± 0.1	5.3 ± 0.5

The superscript letter A: the parameters that were measured in the blood.
The superscript letter B: the parameters that were measured in the brain tissues.
Values are reported as means ± SD of rat groups with different degrees of significance at .
Lowest value of significance.
Highest value of significance.
If two groups have the same letters, it means no significant difference is detected.
