Diabetic and iron parameters in Lepr^db/db; Fpn^wt/C326Smice. Biomarkers that hallmark type 2 diabetes (A) and iron-related parameters (B) were analyzed in 30-week-old female mice with the indicated genotype. (A) Body weight of mice (in grams), blood glycemia (mg/dL), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and serum insulin (ng/ml) are shown. B) Serum iron content (μg/dL) and serum ferritin levels (ng/ml). All data are reported as mean ± SEM. Six or more mice per group were analyzed. Student's t-test p-value: ∗p < 0.05; ∗∗p < 0.01; ∗∗∗p < 0.001; ∗∗∗∗p < 0.0001.
