Exercise Training Prevents Decrease in Luminal Capillary Diameter of Skeletal Muscles in Rats with Type 2 Diabetes

Table 1

Blood glucose level, capillary-to-fibre ratio, and capillary density in the soleus muscle.

	Con	DB	DBEx
Blood glucose level (mg/dL)	117.6 ± 7.1	256.7 ± 15.1^*	281.1 ± 22.7^*
C/F ratio	2.1 ± 0.1	2.3 ± 0.1	2.2 ± 0.1
CD (no/mm^2)	975.9 ± 39.1	976.3 ± 42.2	888 ± 18.1

Values are the mean ± standard error. Con: control group; DB: diabetes group; DBEx: diabetes with exercise group. C/F ratio: the capillary-to-fibre ratio; CD: capillary density. ^*Represents significant difference in the Con group, at P < 0.05.
