Assessment of parameters of metabolic syndrome in C57BL/6N and B6.V-Lepob/J mice between 8–28 weeks. A, blood glucose, B, glucose tolerance test (GTT), C, plasma insulin levels, D, total cholesterol levels, E, free fatty acid levels, and F, leptin levels. A significant alteration in these parameters were noted between the groups in time-dependent manner. Values represent Mean ± SEM, *p<0.05, **p<0.001, compared to C57BL/6 mice. Details are described in ‘materials and methods’ section.
