Body weight, glucose, and lipid profile (triglycerides, total cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein [HDL] cholesterol) of db/+ and db/db−/− mice
Data represent mean ± S.E.M for n = 6 in each group.
| Characteristic | db/+ | db/db−/− |
|---|---|---|
| Body weight (g) | 28.3 ± 0.7 | 50.1 ± 0.6a |
| Glucose (mg/dl) | 113.9 ± 20.9 | 542.1 ± 30.3a |
| Triglycerides (mg/dl) | 22.3 ± 0.7 | 31.9 ± 4.5a |
| Total cholesterol (mg/dl) | 60.4 ± 2.6 | 94.5 ± 6.8a |
| HDL (mg/dl) | 16.0 ± 0.6 | 45.5 ± 6.6a |
| LDL (mg/dl) | 39.9 ± 2.4 | 42.6 ± 1.7 |
LDL, low-density lipoprotein.
