Physiological parameters of rats between groups. (A) Experimental schedules. (B) Trends in body weight. (C,D) Levels of FBG and FIN. (E) Insulin resistance index. (F) Levels of HbA1c. (G) Fasting blood glucose level was determined after insulin injection for 30, 60, 90 and 120 min. (H) Area under the insulin tolerance curve in different groups. (I–L) Levels of lipid parameters. Con control, DM Type 2 diabetes, Ex Type 2 diabetes combined with exercise, TC Total cholesterol, TG Triglyceride, HDL-C High-density lipoprotein cholesterol, LDL-C low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, FBG Fasting blood glucose, FIN Fasting insulin, HbA1c Glycated haemoglobin, ITT Insulin tolerance test. *Denotes the significant difference compared with Con group (p < 0.05); #indicates the significant difference compared with DM group (p < 0.05).
