Group	Serum glucose g/dl ±SEM (n)	Serum insulin μU/ml ± SEM (n)	Body weight change % ± SEM (n)
Control	167 ± 10.8 (6)	58.9 ± 15.3 (3)	+15.3 ± 2.22 (6)
Diabetic	605 ± 45.1 (15)*	12.8 ± 1.25 (7)	−18.5 ± 2.57 (15)*†
Insulin-treated	436 ± 46.2 (21)*	20.7 ± 2.40 (7)	+12.8 ± 2.03 (8)*‡

^*Significantly different from control, P < 0.001.

^†Reduction in initial weight.

^‡Increase in weight from diabetic to insulin-treated state.
