Figure 1

Levels of glucose in experimental rats after 1, 7, 14, 21, 28, and 35 days of treatment. Alloxan-induced diabetic rats have increased glucose level compared to normal control rats. Daily supplementation of CE dose (25, 50, and 100 mg/kg body weight) and subcutaneous injection of insulin significantly decreased the glucose level compared to diabetic rats. CE dose 100 mg/kg body weight showed significantly ( ) higher glucose lowering effect compared to insulin treated group. Glucose level in blood is expressed in mg/dL. Values indicate mean ± S.D. of six rats per group.
