Table 1

Administration of simvastatin in fluid and food intake and body weight of rats in the different experimental groups.

Groups	Fluid intake; (mL/day)	Food intake; (g/day)	Weight gain; (g/day)
Normal control	24.00±4.00	19.3±0.2	5.20±0.02
Diabetic	116.00±5.00^∗	28.50±0.40^∗	3.10±0.03^∗
Simvastatin intervention	40.00±2.00^*#	24.50±0.30^∗	3.80±0.05^*#
Simvastatin treatment	56.00±3.00^*#	25.40±0.20^∗	3.50±0.03^∗

Data are the mean ± SD for ten animals in each group.
^∗𝑃<0.05 compared with the control group.
