 A, Images from scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showing the structures and morphologies of the formed nanocomposite; B, Spectrum analysis showing the presence of the silver and gold in green Au/Ag nanocomposite.

Fig. 4.

Effect of Au/Ag nanocomposite with aqueous Trigonella seed extract (TN) and bulk Trigonella seed extract (TBE) treatment on blood glucose levels (mg/dL) in diabetic rats. Values are expressed as mean ± standard error (n=5). Different letters indicates significant differences between groups (p≥0.05).

Fig. 5.

Effect of Au/Ag nanocomposite with aqueous Trigonella seed extract (TN) and bulk Trigonella seed extract (TBE) treatment on serum AST levels (U/L) (A), ALT levels (U/L) (B), urea levels (mg/dL) (C) and creatinine levels (mg/dL) (D) in diabetic rats. Values are expressed as mean ± standard error (n=5). Different letters indicates significant differences between groups (p≥0.05).
