Effect of different doses of I. verum fruit extract (ethanolic) on blood urea levels of STZ-induced diabetic rats. During studies, diabetic rats were given different doses of dry fruit extract of I. verum (i.e., 1,000 and 500 mg/kg of body weight; denoted as SA 1,000 mg/kg, and SA 500 mg/kg, respectively), metformin (100 mg/kg; denoted as Met. 100 mg/kg), while non-diabetic rats received normal saline for 7 weeks. (Each value presents mean ± S.D., n = 6. *Statistical significance vs. normal control (p < 0.05), ** nonstatistical significance vs normal control (p >0.05)
