They were divided into 6 groups including five rats each fed on basal diet one as a negative control, five groups injected with alloxan 150mg/kg body weight to induce diabetes, one group of them fed just on basal diet as a positive control, the other groups (5 rats each) on experimental diets containing 5% Tofu with plum, guava, mango, and its mixture. At the end of the experiment (28 days) blood samples were taken, organs separated, and weighted to calculate relative organs weight. Serum separated and biochemical analysis carried out.
