Table 3. Effects of fish oil-rich in MUFAs acquired from hybrid catfish on body weight, visceral fat, visceral fat/ body weight (VF/BW) ratio and muscle triglyceride content in rats at the end of experiment.

Values are means±SEM for 8 animals per group. BW, body weight; VF, visceral fat; NC, normal control rats; ND-FO1000, normal control rats supplemented with fish oil-rich in MUFAs at a dose of 1,000 mg/kg BW; DMC, diabetic control rats; DM-FO250, diabetic rats supplemented with fish oil-rich in MUFAs at a dose of 250 mg/kg BW; DM-FO500, diabetic rats supplemented with fish oil-rich in MUFAs at a dose of 500 mg/kg BW; DM-FO1000, diabetic rats supplemented with fish oil-rich in MUFAs at a dose of 1000 mg/kg BW; DM-Met, diabetic rats treated with metformin at a dose of 50 mg/kg BW. ^*p<0.05, ^**p<0.01 vs. NC group; ^#p<0.05 vs. DMC group.
