-
Animal Model:Male db/db and db/+ (lean) mice (9-10 weeks of age, weighing 43-45 g) [1].
-
Dosage:3 or 10 mg/kg.
-
Administration:Oral gavage, single dose.
-
Result:Resulted in significant reduction in blood glucose. These two doses lowered blood glucose similarly at 1 h after dosing, suggesting that saturation of effect was approached.
