Data are expressed as Means ± SEM. n = 24 per group in Experiment 3 and at the beginning of the study in Experiment 2. n = 10-12 per group after the beginning of CDC treatment in Experiment 2.
p < 0.01 vs non-diabetic control group (Experiment 2) and vs mice fed normal chow (Experiment 3).
NC – normal chow, HFD- high-fat diet.
