  1. Data were analyzed by one way ANOVA(and expressed as mean ± SEM) followed Tukey’s posthoc test. DMU: Diabetic untreated, DM + naringin: Diabetic treated with naringin; DM + OPE: Diabetic treated with orange peel extract; DM + met: Diabetic, treated with metformin
  2. aP < 0.05 vs control
  3. bP < 0.05 vs DMU
  4. cP < 0.05 vs DM + naringin
  5. dP < 0.05 vs DM + OPE
