Fig. 1From: The combination of endurance exercise and SGTC (Salvia–Ginseng–Trigonella–Cinnamon) ameliorate mitochondrial markers’ overexpression with sufficient ATP production in the skeletal muscle of mice fed AGEs-rich high-fat dietIllustrated protocol of T2DM induction and treatments in C57BL/6 mouse model. As shown in the graphical protocol the animals were randomly divided into two groups of healthy controls with normal diet consumption and type 2 diabetes induction by AGE-rich high fat diet. The animal experiment phase of this study started with 2 weeks of adaptation to the AGE-rich high fat diet and experiment condition. It was followed by 16 weeks of T2DM induction by the AGE-rich high fat diet. After confirmation of T2DM induction, the animals were randomly divided into 6 groups and 8 weeks of different treatments were appliedBack to article page
