Effect of 14 days administration of topiramate (40, 100 mg/kg) to normal control rats fed normal diet. The following markers were assessed: serum levels of glucose, insulin, and fructosamine, HOMA-index and area under the curve (AUC); serum triglycerides (TGs), total cholesterol (TC), free fatty acids (FFAs), ALT (IU/L), tumor necrosis alpha (TNF-α) and adiponectin; body weight (BW) and liver weight (LW)/−, visceral fat weight (VFW)/− and epididymal fat weight (EFW)/−BW ratio. Values are means (± S.D.) of 10 animals. Treatments were administered once daily for 2 weeks. Statistical analysis between groups was carried out using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey-Kramer Test, P<0.05.
