Fast glycemia. The two bar charts show the analyses of fast glycemia in two different periods in the seven groups of animals. a Glycemia levels at 9 weeks after vehicle or streptozotocin treatment in control and diabetic animals. Measurement was done 1 day before PPADS first cycle treatment. All control groups had normal glycemia levels before purinergic receptors antagonist treatment. b Glycemia levels at 34 weeks after two purinergic receptors antagonist treatment cycles performed at 9 and 24 weeks of diabetes. Cont. control; PPADS pyridoxalphosphate-6-azophenyl-2′,4′-disulfonic acid; DBT diabetic
