Table 1. Endocrine characteristics of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes in rodents with different levels of corticosterone.

Data were analyzed using 2 × 2 ANOVA and asterisk (*) indicates significance at p < 0.05 relative to sham–operated non–diabetic controls. Values shown are means and s.e.m. Abbreviations: STZ = streptozocin; SHAM = sham–operated, ADX + CORT = adrenalectomized with 25 μg ml–1 corticosterone replacement.
