Insulin (μg/L)	0.49 ± 0.08	0.32 ± 0.03	0.31 ± 0.02 a
Leptin (μg/L)	5.8 ± 0.8	9.1 ± 2.8	2.9 ± 0.9 a,b
IGF-1 (μg/L)	222.5 ± 14.9	241.6 ± 3.4	223. 0 ± 6.8 b

Values followed by lowercase ‘a’ are significantly different from mice at 6 weeks at p < 0.05; values followed by lowercase ‘b’ are significantly different from Se-mice at p < 0.05

Values are expressed as the mean ± SE. Values were analyzed by Student’s t test

FFA Fee fatty acids, TG triglycerides, HDL high-density lipoprotein, IGF-1 insulin-like growth factor-1
