Inhibition of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea-induced gastric tumorigenesis by Liuwei Dihuang Pill in db/db mice

Figure 3 Effects of Liuwei Dihuang Pill on fasting blood glucose, insulin, insulin-like growth factor and insulin resistance. The fasting blood glucose at baseline (weeks 1 and 20) and week 30 was measured. The levels of insulin and IGF-1 were measured with ELISA kits. HOMA-IR was calculated for insulin resistance. Data represent the mean ± SE (n = 9). ^aP < 0.05, ^bP < 0.01 vs control. ELISA: Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; HOMA-IR: Homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance; IGF-1: Insulin-like growth factor-1.
