  1. Ctrl: Control group, VL: Very low dose of fenugreek group (0.25%), L: Low dose of fenugreek group (1.25%), M: Middle dose of fenugreek group (2.5%), H: High dose of fenugreek group (5.0%), VH: Very high dose of fenugreek group (12.3%). 1Relative values of (fasting blood glucose × fasting blood insulin) compared to the mean value of the Ctrl group. Values are expressed as means ± SEM for 6 rats. Means without a common superscript letter are significantly different, P < 0.05 (ANOVA).
