NC = normal control, DC = diabetic control, SM = diabetic rats that received soymilk, FSM = diabetic rats that received fermented soymilk, FSM + omega-3 = diabetic rats that received fermented soymilk fortified with omega-3.Data are presented as mean ± SD. WBC = white blood cells, RBC = red blood cells, Hb = hemoglobin, PLT = platelet count, MCV = mean corpuscular volume, MCH = mean corpuscular hemoglobin, MCHC = mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration. In each column, figures bearing different superscripts are significantly different at (one way ANOVA and Duncan test).
