Molecular Changes in Diabetic Wound Healing following Administration of Vitamin D and Ginger Supplements: Biochemical and Molecular Experimental Study

Table 1

Diabetic control variables and body weight changes in control and diabetic mice following established STZ-induced diabetic mice.

Variables	Control	Diabetic	Vitamin D	GF group	GF+Vitamin D
Body weight (g)	42±3.7	28±1.8	29.7±2.3	31.7±1.5	34.1±3.7
FBG (mg/dl)	86±2.4	286±3.7	240±3.4	210±6.3	186±2.1
HbA1C	3.6±1.1	7.9±3.7	5.1±2.5	4.8±2.4	4.8±3.4
Insulin (mU/L)	9.6±1.6	4.6±1.3	5.2±1.6	7.6±2.8	8.3±2.4
C-peptide (ng/mL)	0.6±0.25	2.85±0.75	2.3±0.68	2.1±0.71	1.85±0.9

Data are expressed as mean ± SD; p<0.05 (compared with control), p<0.01 (vitamin D vs. diabetic group), and p<0.001 (diabetic group vs. GF/ or GF+Vitamin D group). GF: gingerols fraction, FBG: fasting blood sugar, and HbA1C: glycated hemoglobin A1c.
