Characteristics of control, obese, and diabetic mice, including age, weight, blood pressure, blood glucose, insulin, and lipids profile. Control—2-month-old mice. Obese 7-month-old mice, after 5 months of high-fat feeding. Ten-month-old diabetic mice (T2D), after 8 months of high-fat feeding. Cholest—total cholesterol. TG—triglycerides. FFA—total free fatty acids. All details are given in the text of Methods. All data are presented as mean ± SE.
