Involvements of UCP and ANT were determined by the magnitude of inhibition by the specific inhibitors guanosine diphosphate and carboxyatractylate, respectively. All values are ±SEM. Type denotes control versus diabetes, and treatment denotes untreated versus CoCl2.

a

P<0.05 compared with the untreated diabetes group.

b

P<0.05 compared with the untreated control group.
