level of glucose was observed using the glucose assay kit (ref no.
1004) through a Microlab 300 chemistry analyzer (ELITech Group) to
estimate the effects of AlCl3 and NaN3 on the
glycemic status. HbA1c and insulin levels in serum were also measured
using their respective Elisa kits, insulin ELISA kit (cat no. INS
5275, Elabscience), and HbA1c ELISA kit (cat no. SG10984, Elabscience)
through a microplate ELISA reader (BIOBASE-EL 10A).
