Plasma parameters of 8-week-old STZ-injected mice fed a RC diet
| Control | STZ-RC | |
| TG (mg/dl) | 109 ± 12.1 | 167 ± 13.4a |
| ALT (U/ml) | 19.5 ± 2.37 | 53 ± 8.04b |
| AST (U/ml) | 53.1 ± 5.26 | 83.1 ± 8.91a |
| Glucose (mg/dl) | 212 ± 16.8 | 654 ± 15.2c |
| Insulin (ng/ml) | 0.527 ± 0.0823 | 1.16 ± 0.0774c |

Values are expressed as mean ± SE. All mice were 8 weeks old when euthanized (n = 6 for each group). Controls was age-matched C57Bl/6J mice fed a RC diet.
