Figure 1. Effect of PSF feeding on blood glucose in induced-diabetic rats. The three groups of 8 STZ-induced diabetic rats were each fed with PSF at a daily dose of 30, 90, or 250 mg/kg, body weight (they were named as PSFL, PSFM, or PSFH, respectively) for 42 days, after which the PSF feeding stopped. Moreover, the rats were fed with a regular PSF-free or an insulin-free diet until Day 49. STZ and Insulin are the negative and positive control groups, respectively. Data are shown as the mean ± SD. Differences with p<0.05 were considered significant
