Figure 5. Effect of olanzapine on plasma triglycerides.

For each subject baseline blood samples were drawn 10–12 h following the final dose of placebo or olanzapine tablets prior to beginning an oral glucose tolerance test for hormone and metabolite analyses. Plasma triglyceride concentration was measured for all subjects under placebo- and olanzapine-treated conditions. Data are expressed as a box plot for placebo and olanzapine-treated groups. An asterisk indicates (P = 0.017) a significant difference between the medians of the placebo and olanzapine groups (n = 15).
