Effect of STZ-induced diabetes on percent body weight (BW) change, blood glucose levels (mg.dL-1), mean arterial pressure (mmHg), heart rate (beats per min), kidney weight/100 g BW, and plasma creatinine concentration (g.dL-1.kg-1 BW) at 14-days (Diab, 14-days) and 28-days (Diab, 28-days). (N = 6 in each group) * p ≤ 0.05 Vs control group.
