Assessment of the type 2 diabetic rat model. (A) Fasting blood-glucose levels following glucose challenge (50%, 2 g/kg) performed after STZ injections. (B) Fasting blood-glucose levels following insulin challenge (0.75 IU/kg) performed after STZ injections. (C) Fasting blood-glucose, represented as the percentage change from baseline, is reduced following insulin challenge (0.75 IU/kg) performed after STZ injection. Data are represented as means±SD, ^* p<0.05, ^** p<0.01 vs. the Cont group. FBG, fasting blood-glucose.
