Table 1.
Lipid parameters of Wistar, diabetes mellitus (DM), and MPT0E014-treated DM rats.
| WKY | DM | DM + MPT0E104 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cholesterol (mmol/L) | 1.4 ± 0.1b | 2.1 ± 0.1a,c | 1.5 ± 0.1b |
| Triglyceride (mmol/L) | 1.1 ± 0.2b | 3.0 ± 0.5a,c | 1.0 ± 0.5b |
| HDL-C (mmol/L) | 0.3 ± 0.3 | 0.4 ± 0.4 | 0.4 ± 0.4 |
| Free fatty acid (μmol/L) | 17.5 ± 1.7b | 30.9 ± 3.8a,c | 16.8 ± 2.9b |
| Insulin (pmol/L) | 141.2 ± 28.3b,c | 55.0 ± 10.8a | 67.2 ± 13.2a |
HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol. Values are expressed as the mean ± SEM, n = 5. a P < 0.05 versus Wistar rats, b P < 0.05 versus DM rats, and c P < 0.05 versus MPT0E014-treated DM rats.
