Levels of fasting blood glucose, microalbuminuria, serum creatinine, and urea in experimental groups.

Parameters	Control	T2DR	Met	EEAE
FBG (mmol/L)	4.57 (0.25)^c	22.43 (1.30)	9.37 (4.26)^c	9.55 (2.74)^c
Microalbuminuria (mg/L)	13.33 (0.58)^b	51.25 (11.18)	18.50 (12.79)^b	16.75 (7.27)^b
Serum creatinine (μmol/L)	47.03 (4.03)^c	69.07 (3.81)	54.67 (4.82)^c	57.44 (4.56)^c
Serum BUN (mmol/L)	7.11 (0.65)^b	9.61 (1.11)	6.46 (1.12)^c	7.71 (0.99)^a

Data represent the mean (standard deviation), n = 8 per group. , , compared to T2DR. T2DR: untreated T2DR, Met: metformin-treated T2DR, EEAE: 1000 mg/kg EEAE-treated T2DR, FBG: fasting blood glucose, BUN: blood urea nitrogen. Statistical analysis was performed using the one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc test.
