Values are expressed as mean ± SEM for ten rats in each group. Data analyzed using two-way ANOVA. a between the normal control (C) and diabetic control (D). b between the diabetic control (D) and diabetic TL treatment (D + TL). c between the normal control (C) and the normal TL treatment (C + TL). d between the normal TL treatment (C + TL) and diabetic TL treatment (D + TL).
