N, normal rat+basal control diet; STZ, DM rats++basal control diet; STZ-M, DM rats+feed diet containg 5% mulberry leaf powder; STZ-G, DM rats+feed diet containg 5% green tea powder; STZ-MG, DM rats+feed diet containg 5% mixture of mulberry leaf and green tea powder. and green tea powder
HOMA-IR : fasting glucose(mg/dL) × fasting insulin (µU/mL)/405
The results are mean±SE of 8 rats per each group.
Values with different superscripts in the same column are significantly different (p<0.05) between groups by Tukey's test.
