Advanced glycation end-product expression is upregulated in the gastrointestinal tract of type 2 diabetic rats

Figure 1 Body weight (A) and the blood glucose level (B) were higher in Goto-Kakizak group than in the normal group (P < 0. 001 and P < 0.01). The wet weight per unit length of intestinal and colon segments is shown in Figure 1C (compared with normal group: ^aP < 0.05, ^bP < 0.01). Values are mean ± SD, n = 8 for each group. Eso: Esophagus; Duo: Duodenum; Je: Jejunum; Ile: Ileum; Col: Colon; GK: Inherited type 2 diabetic Goto-Kakizak rats.
