Tangnaikang Alleviates Hyperglycemia and Improves Gut Microbiota in Diabetic Mice

Figure 1

The effects of Tangnaikang treatment on fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels and bodyweights in KKAy mice. A total of 13 C57BL mice were assigned to the control group and fed a chow diet. A total of 65 male KKAy mice were fed a high-fat diet for 2 weeks, followed by treatment with normal saline (20 mL/kg), Acarbose, high-dose Tangnaikang (4.68 g/kg), medium-dose Tangnaikang (2.34 g/kg), or low-dose Tangnaikang (1.17 g/kg) via gavage once a day for 8 weeks (n = 13/group).
