Blood Glucose, Triglycerides, Serum Calcium, Leptin Level, Food Intake, and 20S Proteasome Activity
| Td-IL-1α group | Td-pcDNA3 group | p Values | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blood glucose (mg/dl) | 75.4 ± 4.4 | 78.63 ± 4.3 | 0.6233 |
| Triglycerides (mg/dl) | 55.5 ± 5.3 | 85.9 ± 5.2 | 0.0006 |
| Serum calcium (mg/dl) | 10.4 ± 1.5 | 9.2 ± 1.4 | 0.0423 |
| Leptin (ng/ml) | 1.95 ± 0.18 | 1.03 ± 0.32 | 0.0133 |
| 20S Proteasome activity | 19.5 ± 0.8 | 23.1 ± 1.2 | 0.0512 |
| Food intake (g/mouse/day) | 6.3 ± 0.3 | 4.7 ± 0.3 | 0.0032 |
Blood glucose was measured twice during the course of the experiment and average with standard error from both experiments is presented. Triglycerides, calcium, and leptin were measured in serum collected at the time of sacrifice. Proteasome activity is expressed as arbitrary units.
