Biochemical and cellular evidence of the benefit of a combination of cerium oxide nanoparticles and selenium to diabetic rats

Figure 1 Effects of various treatments on blood glucose in diabetic rats. Data are mean ± SE of six animals. ^bP < 0.001 vs control group; ^cP < 0.05 vs diabetic control group; ^eP < 0.05 vs Nanocerium oxide + Sodium selenite group.

Figure 2 Effects of various treatments on liver reactive oxygen species in diabetic rats. Data are mean ± SE of six animals. ^aP < 0.01, ^bP < 0.001 vs control group; ^cP < 0.05, ^dP < 0.001 vs diabetic control group; ^eP < 0.05, ^fP < 0.01, ^gP < 0.001 vs Nanocerium oxide + Sodium selenite group. ROS: Reactive oxygen species.

Figure 3 Effects of various treatments on adenosine diphosphate/adenosine triphospahte in diabetic rats. Data are mean ± SE of six animals. ^aP < 0.01, ^bP < 0.001 vs control group; ^cP < 0.01 vs diabetic control group; ^dP < 0.05, ^eP < 0.01 vs Nanocerium oxide + Sodium selenite group. ADP/ATP: Adenosine diphosphate/adenosine triphospahte.
