Fig. 6From: Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells ameliorate insulin resistance by suppressing NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated inflammation in type 2 diabetes ratsUC-MSC infusion improved hyperglycemia and insulin sensitivity in T2D rats. (a) Blood glucose levels determined by a glucometer ACCU-CHEK Advantage Meter in normal, diabetes mellitus (DM), and BMSC groups. (b) Glucose tolerance determined by the glucose concentration at different times. (c) Insulin tolerance assessed by IPGTT. Values are mean ± standard deviation; n = 8 rats each group. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01. UC-MSC umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cellBack to article page
