Baseline characteristics of WKY and GK rats used in present study

WKY GK
Mass, g 405 ± 11 347 ± 9*
MAP, mmHg 103 ± 5 105 ± 6
Glucose, mg/dl 86 ± 5 166 ± 12*
Insulin, ng/ml 1.0 ± 0.3 6.6 ± 0.8*
Cholesterol, mg/dl 79 ± 14 98 ± 13
Triglycerides, mg/dl 118 ± 15 211 ± 16*
Nitrotyrosine, ng/ml 11 ± 3 34 ± 5*
TNF-α, pg/ml 1.3 ± 0.4 5.7 ± 0.7*
IL-1β, pg/ml 6.5 ± 0.6 10.9 ± 0.9*
MCP-1, pg/ml 35.6 ± 4.1 58.5 ± 5.9*
RANTES, pg/ml 29.4 ± 4.8 88.5 ± 11.4*

Values are means ± SE; n = 12 rats for both groups [Wistar Kyoto (WKY) and Goto-Kakizaki (GK)]. All animals were ~17 wk of age. MCP-1, monocyte chemotactic protein-1; MAP, mean arterial pressure; RANTES, regulated on activation normal T-expressed and presumably secreted.
