Results are means ± SD (n = 8). Labeled means in a row without a common letter differ (p < 0.05; a < b < c; ab = a or b; ANOVA followed by the Bonferroni or T2 Tamhane post hoc test). ED: rats fed the CFE-diet since the beginning of the study; D: rats fed the Chol-diet; DE: rats fed the CFE-diet when the diabetic state was confirmed. VLDL, very low-density lipoproteins; IDL, intermediate-density lipoproteins; LDL, low-density lipoproteins; HDL, high-density lipoproteins. For more abbreviations see footnotes of Table 1. * Total lipids: cholesterol + triglycerides + phospholipids; ** Total mass: total lipids + proteins.
