Table 1.

Characteristics of control db/m, ad lib-fed (AL) db/db, and pair-fed (PF) db/db mice at 14 weeks of age (n=9/group). Means±SEMs are displayed and were initially analyzed by ANOVA.

	Control db/m	AL db/db	PF db/db	P by ANOVA
Body weights (g)	28.5±0.3^a	47.6±1.2^b	42.0±1.2^c	<0.001
Plasma levels:
Hemoglobin A1c (%)	4.16±0.03^a	11.3±0.64^b	7.70±0.32^c	<0.001
Ln [Insulin (ng/ml)] (Antilog of the mean)	0.128±0.183^a (1.14 ng/ml)	1.01±0.25^b (2.75 ng/ml)	1.10±0.20^b (3.00 ng/ml)	<0.01
Ln [Triglycerides (mg/dl)] (Antilog of the mean)	4.24±0.06^a (69.4 mg/dl)	4.75±.10^b (116 mg/dl)	4.66±0.06^b (106 mg/dl)	<0.001
LDL cholesterol (mg/dl)	73.2±1.8^a	111±7.6^b	71.9±5.4^a	<0.001
Adiponectin (ng/ml)	876±31^a	547±30^b	742±37^c	<0.001

For each parameter, numbers labeled with different lowercase letters are statistically different by the Student-Newman-Keuls test (P<0.01). Normally distributed data were analyzed without transformations; non-normally distributed data became normally distributed after logtransformation. For clarity, we have displayed the antilogs of the means of logtransformed data (in parentheses, with units).
