Effect of partial menhaden oil substitution in the diet of high-fat/streptozotocin diabetic rats on serum thio barbituric acid reactive substances, triglycerides, free fatty acids, cholesterol, and adiponectin.

Determination	Control (10)	Diabetic (10)	Diabetic + menhaden oil (10)
Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (μg/mL)	0.57 ± 0.04	0.87 ± 0.04^a	0.92 ± 0.11^a
Triglycerides (mg/dL)	22 ± 6	53 ± 8^a	114 ± 20^a
Free fatty acids (mmol/L)	0.07 ± 0.02	0.30 ± 0.05^a	0.39 ± 0.06^a
Cholesterol (mg/mL)	0.5 ± 0.2	1.1 ± 0.3^a	1.9 ± 0.6^a
Adiponectin (μg/mL)	6.7 ± 0.3	7.1 ± 0.3	9.1 ± 0.5^a,b

Data are presented as the mean ± S.E.M. ^a P < 0.05 compared to control; ^b P < 0.05 compared to diabetic. Parentheses indicate the number of experimental animals.
