Central treatment with alarin enhanced reduced blood glucose levels in the rats (n = 8).

<p>The blood glucose levels in the alarin group were reduced compared with diabetic controls (DC). The levels in the ala6-25Cys+alarin group (ala6-25Cys+Al) was lower than ala6-25Cys group but higher than alarin group. In the diabetic control group the levels were higher than health controls (HC). The data shown are the means ± SEM. ●● P < 0.01 vs. HC; * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01 vs. DC; ## P < 0.01 vs ala6-25Cys group; △△ P < 0.01 vs. alarin group.
