Table 1. Animal physiological variables

Animals were made diabetic by a single streptozocin (STZ) injection (65 mg/kg) in 1 mmol/l sodium citrate buffer, pH 4.5. All diabetic animals had higher blood glucose levels and reduced body weight gain compared to age matched, non-diabetic control animals.
