Metabolic parameters of the DBA/2J mice

Glycemic status	Treatment	Final weight	20-wk blood glucose	Final GHb
Nondiabetic	None	29.7 ± 3.9 (n = 17)	122.1 ± 18.5 (n = 17)	5.8 ± 0.9 (n = 15)
Diabetic	STZ	23.5 ± 1.7 (n = 18)	455.2 ± 163.6 (n = 18)	14.2 ± 1.7 (n = 18)
Nondiabetic	Rosi	29.2 ± 3.2 (n = 15)	122.8 ± 16.3 (n = 15)	6.0 ± 0.7 (n = 15)
Diabetic	STZ and Rosi	23.7 ± 1.5 (n = 13)	509 ± 153.5 (n = 13)	13.6 ± 2.0 (n = 13)

Final weight was reduced in diabetic mice (P < 0.001); 20-wk blood glucose and final GHb were increased (P < 0.001).
