Figure 2 Metabolism index of rats in different groups. A and B: Weekly changes of random blood glucose (A) and weight (B) in rats after streptozotocin injection; C-J: Evaluations in serum of rats in each group after intervention (n = 5). C: Glycosylated serum protein; D: Intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (IPGTT); E: Area under the curve (AUC) for the IPGTT test; F: Fasting insulin (INS); G: Triglycerides (TG); H: Total cholesterol (T-CHO); I: High-density lipoprotein level (HDL-C); J: Low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C). ^aP < 0.05, ^bP < 0.01 model group vs control group; ^cP < 0.05, ^dP < 0.01 electroacupuncture (EA) group vs model group; ^eP < 0.05 EA + EX527 group vs EA group.
