Table 1

Body weight, food and water consumption, and metabolic parameters of the control and experimental groups of rats.

Group	C	C + Vit B6	D	D + Vit B6
Food intake (g per 24 h)
Water intake (mL per 24 h)
Final body weight (g)
Glucose (mmol/L)
TC (mmol/L)
TG (mmol/L)
HDL-C (mmol/L)

TC: total cholesterol, tG: Triglyceride, and HDL-C: high density lipoprotein-cholesterol.
C: normal control rats, C + Vit B6: control rats with orally administered vitamin B6, D: streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats, and D + Vit B6: diabetic rats with orally administered vitamin B6.
Values are expressed as mean ± S.E.M. for eight rats in each group.
Statistical comparison: ^acompared with the C group and ^bcompared with the D group.
Statistical significance, ^* and ^**.
