The effect of allopurinol (Allo) treatment on insulin resistance (IR) lipoprotein profile including total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein (LDL), triglycerides (TG), and high density lipoprotein (HDL-C) compared to control group.

	TG (mg/dL)	TC (mg/dL)	LDLC (mg/dL)	HDL (mg/dL)
Control group	45.85 ± 2.55	50.15 ± 2.42	29.08 ± 6.41	13.75 ± 2.85
IR group	55.17 ± 6.89	48.50 ± 4.29	16.94 ± 4.01	21.19 ± 2.58
IR-Allo group	45.36 ± 3.23	53.72 ± 4.56	23.04 ± 3.67	21.07 ± 2.50
Allo group	47.04 ± 2.94	51.49 ± 2.13	23.10 ± 2.10	18.99 ± 1.27

Values are expressed as the mean ± SEM; N = 6–8 animals, without any significant differences by One-Way ANOVA and Newman-Keuls post hoc test.
