Long-pulse gastric electrical stimulation protects interstitial cells of Cajal in diabetic rats via IGF-1 signaling pathway

Figure 2 Body weights and blood glucose levels at different time points in different groups. A: The body weights of the diabetic rats were obviously decreased compared with the controls at 6 wk (P < 0.05). The weights in all GES groups were increased compared with the DM (diabetic group) (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between the DM and DM + SGES groups (P > 0.05); B: Compared with the control group, the blood glucose level of the DM group was significantly increased at weeks 0, 2, 4 and 6 (P < 0.05 for all). ^aP < 0.05 vs control; ^bP < 0.05 vs DM group.
