Lactobacillus rhamnosus Reduces Blood Glucose Level through Downregulation of Gluconeogenesis Gene Expression in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats

Table 1

Feed consumption and body weight in experimental groups.

Parameters	N	DM
Feed consumption (g/day)	^a	^b	^b	^b
Initial body weight (g)	^a	^a	^a	^a
Final body weight (g)	^b	^a	^a	^a
Weight change (g)	(+)^b	(-)^a	(-)^a	(-)^a

The values are expressed as the (). Means within a row with different superscript letters are significantly different (). N = nondiabetic control group; DM = diabetic control group;  = STZ treated with L. rhamnosus BSL;  = STZ treated with L. rhamnosus R23. (+) increased in weight change; (-) decreased in weight change.
