Antihyperlipidemic Effect of a Polyherbal Mixture in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats

Table 1

Effects of the polyherbal mixture (PHM) on body weight and water intake. The animals in group of diabetic + PHM received PHM for 4 weeks.

Animal groups	Body weight (gram)		Water intake (mL/24 h)			Urine (mL/24 h)
	Day 0	Day 30	Day 0	Day 16	Day 30	Day 30
Normal control	311±5	360±7^∗	37±3	50±4^∞	42±2^∞	—

^∗𝑃<0.05 compared with day 0 in the corresponding group. ^∗∗𝑃<0.001 compared with day 0 in the corresponding group. ^#𝑃<0.001 compared with the corresponding values at day 0. ^∞𝑃<0.001 compared with the corresponding values of diabetic and diabetic + PHM groups. ^×𝑃<0.01 compared with the corresponding values of diabetic group. The data are expressed as mean ± SEM for eight (diabetic + PHM) or six (normal and diabetic control) rats.
