Values are mean ± SEM. a,b,cMeans with different superscript letters within a column are significantly different from each other at P value ( Duncan’s test) which is represented at the end of same column. , significant, and , highly significant. FBG: fasting blood glucose; HbA1c: haemoglobin A1c; Total-C: total cholesterol; HDL: high density lipoprotein; LDL: low density lipoprotein; AI: atherogenic index. After 2-week feeding of high fat diet, diabetes was induced in fasted animals by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (35 mg/kg bw) dissolved in citrate buffer (pH 4.5) [11]. C: healthy control, normal diet; CNO-10: healthy control, normal diet and NO distillate at a dose of 375 μg/0.5 mL of distilled water/d; HF: healthy control high fat diet;. NO-0.1: type 2 diabetic, high fat diet, and NO distillate at a dose of 3.75 μg/0.5 mL of distilled water/d; NO-1: type 2 diabetic, high fat diet, and NO distillate at a dose of 37.5 μg/0.5 mL of distilled water/d; NO-10: type 2 diabetic, high fat diet, and NO distillate at a dose of 375 μg/0.5 mL of distilled water/d; D: type 2 diabetic, high fat diet; G: type 2 diabetic, high fat diet, and glibenclamide at a dose of 0.6 mg/kg bw/0.5 mL of distilled water/d. |
