Figure 2 Serum biomarkers of rat model of diabetes and effect of exercise. A: Measurement of blood glucose levels from blood collected via tail vein; B: Detection of insulin levels from blood collected via tail vein; C: Measurement of glycogen content from the gastrocnemius muscle; D: Detection of triglyceride concentration from blood collected via tail vein; E: Detection of total cholesterol concentration from blood collected via tail vein; F: Detection of free fatty acid concentration from blood collected via tail vein. ^aP < 0.05, ^bP < 0.01, ^cP < 0.001 vs the control sedentary group; ^dP < 0.05, ^eP < 0.01 vs the diabetic sedentary group. D-Ex: The diabetic exercise group; D-Sed: The diabetic sedentary group; C-Ex: The control exercise group; C-Sed: The control sedentary group.
