Table 1.
The body weight and blood sugar of animal experimental groups.
| Groups | Control | DM | DM+FL | DM+FH |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 days after STZ injection | ||||
| Body weight (g) | 278.3 ± 8.3 | 277.0 ± 16.5 | 280.0 ± 3.7 | 274.0 ± 17.6 |
| Blood sugar (mg/dL) | 96.7 ± 21.1 | 525.8 ± 83.5** | 526.6 ± 64.7** | 540.8 ± 76.3** |
| 8 weeks after STZ injection | ||||
| Body weight (g) | 459.4 ± 30.3 | 323.0 ± 51.0** | 350.5 ± 52.5** | 347.9 ± 48.4** |
| Blood sugar (mg/dL) | 170.7 ± 40.5 | 512.3 ± 70.7** | 551.7 ± 56.3** | 539.0 ± 75.0** |
| Serum TC (mg/dL) | 55.4 ± 8.1 | 104.2 ± 22.7** | 73.2 ± 5.8* | 63.6 ± 4.7* |
** P < 0.001; * P < 0.05; DM group versus control group, fenofibrate group versus DM group (FL: fenofibrate low dose; FH: fenofibrate high dose; TC: total cholesterol); the blood sugar values were from fed rats.
