Same superscript in each column indicate significant differences at p<0.05. Group (A) which served as the control group and received a daily oral gavage normal saline Group (B) diabetic rats, which received streptozotocin. Group (C) diabetic rats were administered P. atlantica extract (200 mg/kg) daily by gavage. Group (D) non-diabetic rats received similar doses of P. atlantica extract alone. Group (E) diabetic rats were administered glibenclamide (200 mg/kg) daily by gavage.
