Garlic Attenuates Plasma and Kidney ACE-1 and AngII Modulations in Early Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats: Renal Clearance and Blood Pressure Implications

Figure 2

GE treatment increased body weight of diabetic rats. GE was administered IP to diabetic rats for 8 weeks abbreviated at DR/GE. Diabetic control rats (DR/NS) and normal control rats (NR/NS) were given normal saline. The animals were weighed before STZ injection (pre-STZ), 6 days after STZ injection (day 6 (BT)), and weekly for the 8-week treatment period. Weights are plotted as percentiles with the starting weights all standardized to 100%. Pre-STZ: before streptozotocin administration; BT: before treatment; w: week; significantly different compared to NR/NS; significantly different compared to DR/NS.
