TSG decreased body weight and the level of blood glucose in prediabetic rats. a Process of TSG administration in prediabetic rats. After establishment of prediabetic animal model, rats were administrated with 0.9% sodium chloride solution (the control and model groups), TSG (TSG group) and metformin (Met group, positive control), respectively. b TSG reduced body weight compared with the model group. c TSG decreased the level of FPG, 2hPBG, FINS and HOMA-IR. Ctrl: the control group (n = 8); Model: the model group (n = 8); TSG: the TSG-treated group (n = 8); Met: the Met-treated group (n = 8). *: P < 0.05 vs. Ctrl; #: P < 0.05 vs. Model
