title: Antidiabetic effect of Lactobacillus GG in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.
abstract: Neonatally streptozotocin-induced diabetic (n-STZ) rats were given food containing Lactobacillus GG cells (GG) or a control diet (control), from 9 to 18 weeks of age. The GG cells significantly lowered the blood hemoglobin A(1C) (HbA(1C)) level and improved glucose tolerance in n-STZ rats (p<0.05). In the GG group, the serum insulin level at 30 min after glucose loading was significantly higher than in the control group (p<0.05).
