From: Zishen Pill alleviates diabetes in Db/db mice via activation of PI3K/AKT pathway in the liver
ZSP improves glucose metabolism in db/db mice. a Overnight-fasting glucose levels of mice during the treatment (n = 7). b Fasting serum insulin levels of mice (n = 6). c HOMA-IR of mice (n = 6). d Glucose levels from different time points during the OGTT test and the area under curve of each group (n = 7). e Images of PAS staining of mice liver and muscle tissue. All pictures were taken at 200 × magnification. f Hepatic glycogen content of mice (n = 5). Normal group: wt/wt mice treated with distilled water. Model group: db/db mice treated with distilled water. ZSP group: db/db mice treated with ZSP at 3.3 g/kg/day. All data presented as mean ± SD. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, compared to the model group. # p < 0.05, ## p < 0.01, ### p < 0.001, compared to the normal group
