Parameter/treatment	Chow-fed control	HFSTZ control	HFSTZ + Coagonist	db/db mice	db/db mice + Coagonist
Plasma leptin (ng/mL)	6.0 ± 1.2	12.4 ± 2.3a	8.1 ± 2.2e	64.3 ± 8.9a	31.5 ± 5.2c
HOMA-IR	2.0 ± 0.1	19.1 ± 2.5a	7.5 ± 3.1e	70.3 ± 2.8a	27.3 ± 1.7c
AUC of glucose in IPGTT (mg/dL*240 min)	22118.3 ± 1036.3	37436 ± 3526.1a	28419.0 ± 2013.2e	89249.0 ± 6056.1a	59430.3 ± 3437.5c
AUC of glucose in ITT (mg/dL*240 min)	6318.5 ± 972.5	22054.0 ± 784.8a	14171.5 ± 624.7e	51317.3 ± 2501.4a	22548.1 ± 3054.1c
Kidney weight (mg)	248.7 ± 35.6	542.8 ± 41.8a	331.2 ± 41.5e	367.2 ± 55.2a	244.4 ± 5 1.3c

Data are shown as the mean ± SE.

^aP < 0.05, vs chow-fed control;

^cP < 0.05, vs db/db control;

^eP < 0.05, vs HFSTZ control. HFSTZ: Streptozotocin-high-fat; AUC: Area under curve; IPGTT: Intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test; ITT: Insulin tolerance test; HOMA-IR: Homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance.
