Data represented by mean ± standard deviation;

a

indicates group significantly different from control;

b

indicates group significantly different from obese without diabetes;

c

indicates group significantly different from non-obese diabetes;

d

indicates group significantly different from obese diabetes. Level of significance is given at p≤0.05. Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; SAD, sagittal abdominal diameter; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; HDL, high-density lipoprotein.
