The data are represented as the mean ± SEM. Statistical analysis was performed using the generalized linear model and two-way analysis of variance test complemented with a nonparametric test. Significant values are represented by . Versus C; versus C + Y; versus DM; C: controls; C + Y: controls treated with Yacon leaf extract; DM: diabetic controls; DM + Y: diabetic rats treated with Yacon; TG: triacylglycerol; NEFA: nonesterified fatty acid.
