Table 3. Experimental designs.
Mice models | Experiments | Time point (age in week) |
---|---|---|
1. db/db vs. wild-type (8/group) | NPOFDG PET (MRGlu)HOMA-IR, glucose, TG, FFA | 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 |
2. db/db vs. wild-type (8/group) | Echocardiography | 8, 12, 16 |
MRGlu, rate of myocardial glucose uptake. NPO, nil per os. HOMA-IR, homeostasis model assessment-estimated insulin resistance.
TG, triglyceride. FFA, free fatty acid.
