Effect of T.chebula on urinary excretion of protein (A), albumin (B) and creatinine (C) in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Each bar indicates the mean ± SEM of 5 animals in each group. Urine samples were collected before the induction of diabetes (0 week) and after 8 weeks of daily treatments either with vehicle (control), T. chebula (300 mg/kg) or glibenclamide (0.04 mg/kg) in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Significant difference from the corresponding pre-diabetic value: **p < 0.001.
