Figure 2From: Caffeic acid phenethyl amide improves glucose homeostasis and attenuates the progression of vascular dysfunction in Streptozotocin-induced diabetic ratsThe effect of CAPA on the glucose tolerance test. Intravenous glucose tolerance tests (IVGTT) were performed in anesthetized fasted animals. Rats were orally administered CAPA (0.5 mg/mL/kg, n = 6) or the same volume of distilled water (vehicle, n = 8) at 30 minutes before intravenous injection of glucose (1000 mg/kg). Blood glucose levels were measured before and at 5, 10, 20, 40, 60, 90, and 120 min after glucose injection. (●) CAPA-treated group: CAPA (0.5 mg/mL/kg, p.o. 30 min before glucose intravenous injection). (○) Vehicle-treated group: Rats treated with vehicle at the same volume were used as controls. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05 compared with the vehicle.Back to article page
