Notes: the values are presented as the in each group and were analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post hoc test. Values with were considered statistically significant during and at the end of treatment. ! indicates significant difference () between the SHR and WKY control groups. indicates significant difference () in comparison to the SHR control group. δ indicates significant difference () of the diabetic Irb, Pio, Adp, Irb+Adp, and Pio+Adp groups in comparison to the SHR diabetic control group. # indicates significant difference () between the diabetic Irb and Adp groups. ж indicates a significant difference () between the diabetic Pio and Adp groups. ζ indicates a significant difference () of the diabetic Adp group in comparison to the diabetic Pio+Adp group at days 21 and 28.
