Table 3. Influence of high fat diet on plasma glucose and triglyceride concentrations in wild-type and mdr1ab-/- mice at 25 weeks of age.

Wild-type Mdr1ab-/-
Glucose (mmol/L) Standard diet 18.3±1.7 16.1±1.3
HFD 26.9±1.7 * 34.3±1.3 a **
Triglyceride (mmol/L) Standard diet 0.80±0.07 0.92±0.04
HFD 0.70±0.03 0.99±0.05 a

Mice were fed from weaning to 25 weeks of age whether with a standard chow diet or a high fat diet (HFD). Glucose and triglycerides were analysed in plasma samples from wild-type and mdr1ab-/- mice. Results are expressed as means ± s.e.m. of 3 to 5 animals.
