Table 1.

Body weight and serum measurements in mice at 20 weeks of age. Metabolic parameters in mice fed a high-fat or chow diet. Body weight, serum triglyceride, cholesterol, glucose, and insulin were determined in 20-week–old mice (mean ± SD, n = 8 mice per group).

	Chow diet	High-fat diet	P
Body weight (g)	26.3 ± 1.9	40.1 ± 2.5	<0.01
Glucose (mg/dl)	143 ± 5.2	231 ± 21	<0.01
Triglyceride (mg/dl)	65 ± 3.1	113 ± 6.3	<0.01
Cholesterol (mg/dl)	113 ± 23	278 ± 40	<0.01
Insulin (ng/ml)	0.78 ± 0.33	4.78 ± 0.87	<0.01
