N. vomica reduces blood glucose and oxidative stress. An unpaired t-test on TOS (a) and TAC (b) parameters showed a significant effect of N. vomica on oxidative stress reduction (*P<0.05; **P<0.01). Enzymatic activity of arylesterase (c) and paraoxonase (d) was non-significant. e Glycaemic levels at the time of nerve crush (day 0, blue hatched column, n=7) and after 12 days in normal chow (blue solid column, n=7) or N. vomica chow (red hatched column, n=7) groups. An unpaired t-test on post-injury measurements did not show any significant effect. f Glucose Tolerance Test at week 2 of N. vomica supplementation (red line) showed enhanced glucose sensitivity at 60 and 90 minutes of post glucose administration (***P<0.04)
