The effects of insulin or honey or both on (a) Bax/Bcl-2 ratio at mRNA level in the hippocampus of the studied rats. †††, comparing (expression level of Bax gene) the untreated diabetic group (D) with the control group (C) and the diabetic group treated with insulin (DI), lycopene (DL), and both together (DIL). (b) Bax/Bcl-XL ratio at mRNA level in the hippocampus of the studied rats. , comparing (expression level of Bax gene) the untreated diabetic group (D) with the control group (C) and the diabetic group treated insulin (DI), lycopene (DL), and both together (DIL).
