Facts and Artifacts in the Evaluation of the Anti-diabetic Activity of Spent Hop Extract in Rat Hearts in the“Experimental Model of Diabetes” : Table 4

Table 4: Effect of spent hop extract on blood glucose in healthy (nondiabetic) and STZ-induced diabetic rats.
Data are given as mean + SD, n=9-20 animals.
^aStatistical significance vs. non-diabetic rats, estimated with Kruskal-Wallis test and the post-hoc multiple comparisons Conover-Inman test; P< 0.001.
