Hypoglycemic and Hepatoprotective Effects of Dried and Rice-Fried Psidium guajava Leaves in Diabetic Rats

Figure 5

Effects of PGLD (P. guajava leaves decoctions) and RPGLD (rice-fried P. guajava leaves decoctions) on mRNA expressions ((GK, glucokinase), GLUT2 (glucose transporter 2), IGF-1 (insulin growth factor-1), IRS-1 (insulin receptor substrate-1), and IRS-2 (insulin receptor substrate-2)) of the liver glucose metabolism and insulin signal molecules in diabetic rats ( < 0.05,  < 0.01 vs. the HFD/STZ group;  < 0.05,  < 0.01 vs. the PGLD group).
