Table 2. Body weight, plasma glucose concentrations, and plasma IR-ANP concentrations

Body weight, plasma glucose concentrations, and plasma IR-ANP concentrations at both 1 and 3 months after injection of 75 mg STZ/kg body weight or vehicle in diabetic and control rats. The values are mean±standard deviation. Asterisks (*) indicate statistical significance (p<0.001, Mann-Whitney U test) for the comparison to age matched control rats.
