Effects of Modified Sanzi Yangqin Decoction on Tyrosine Phosphorylation of IRS-1 in Skeletal Muscle of Type 2 Diabetic Rats

Figure 1

Body weight of rats in different stages. (a) The body weight of rats increased steadily. The high-fat fed rats gained weight more rapidly than those fed with standard diet. (b) The body weight of rats fed with high-fat diet was lost significantly after STZ injection. (c) The body weight of rats in Norm increased steadily, and that of diabetic rats decreased progressively. With treatment, the weight loss of diabetic rats slowed down, especially in MSYDh. STZ, streptozotocin; Norm, normal control group; T2DCn, model control group; MET, metformin group; MSYDl, low-dose Modified Sanzi Yangqin Decoction group; MSYDm, medium-dose Modified Sanzi Yangqin Decoction group; MSYDh, high-dose Modified Sanzi Yangqin Decoction group.
