Group Body weight(g) Blood glucose (mg/dL) Control(n=10) Diabetes(n=8) Vanadium (n=7) 32.4±0.9 24.7±0.7** 33.7±2.4 142.2±12.6 540.0±0** 325.8±70.2 Blood glucose level of control, diabetic and vanadium-treatment mice were measured on a weekly basis and the body weight of each group were measured daily. The final measured results at the end of three weeks vanadium treatment are shown. Data are presented as mean±S.D **p<0.01 vs. Control, p<0.05 vs. Diabetes.
