General characteristics of experimental animals

	Blood glucose (mM)	NEFA (mM)	TG (mM)
Control	6.2 ± 0.9	0.3 ± 0.1	0.5 ± 0.1
Diazoxide	26.2 ± 2.5*	1.0 ± 0.2*	0.5 ± 0.2
D55	24.6 ± 2.0*	0.4 ± 0.1	0.5 ± 0.3
D100	28.0 ± 1.8*	1.0 ± 0.3*	2.3 ± 0.5*

Blood samples were collected from the tail vein before termination, and serum was isolated by centrifugation. Serum concentrations of NEFA and TG were determined using diagnostic kits. Results are the mean ± SE of three animals in each group.

*Significantly different from control, P < 0.01.
