C, Normal diet; DC, Supplementation of normal diet in STZ-induced diabetic rat; DS, Supplementation of 50.0% SC in STZ-induced diabetic rat; DY, Supplementation of 44.5% YC in STZ-induced diabetic rat; DYB, Supplementation of 50% YCB in STZ-induced diabetic rat.
GSH/GSSH: reduced glutathione/oxidized glutathione.
Values are mean±SD (n=10), values with a different alphabet in the column indicate a significant difference at p<0.05 in Duncan's multiple range test.
NS, not significant.
