1 The average MW and DD of chitosan oligosaccharide are about 719 Dalton and 100%, respectively. NC: Normal control diets; HF: High fat diets (Lard 10%); DF: Diabetes + high fat diet; D0.5F: Diabetes + high fat diet + 0.5% chitosan oligosaccharide; D1F: Diabetes + high fat diet + 1% chitosan oligosaccharide; D5F: Diabetes + high fat diet + 5% chitosan oligosaccharide.
