Diabetes was induced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (1mg/kg body weight) to the rats. They were allowed for 72 hrs. for development of diabetes. After 72 hrs., their body weight and hyperglycemic glucose levels were determined. Our findings show total cholesterol (TC) levels, there were no significant differences (p
