Comparison of body weight, FBG, and FINS in each group (means ± SD). The sample size of NC, LD, and HD groups was reduced from 6 to 5 due to improper operation by the experimenter. The weight and FBG of mice were measured once a week. The levels of FINS were measured at the termination of the study. aCompared with the HF group, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05); bcompared with the NC group, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05).
| Groups | Quantity | Weight (g) | FBG (mmol/L) | FINS (mIU/L) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NC | n = 5 | 23.52 ± 0.90a | 7.40 ± 0.12a | 7.70 ± 0.17a |
| HF | n = 6 | 31.57 ± 2.28 | 8.33 ± 0.15 | 10.01 ± 0.10 |
| LD | n = 5 | 31.95 ± 2.20b | 8.02 ± 0.15ab | 8.50 ± 0.28ab |
| MD | n = 6 | 28.67 ± 0.91ab | 8.08 ± 0.17ab | 8.62 ± 0.24ab |
| HD | n = 5 | 29.04 ± 1.87ab | 7.94 ± 0.21ab | 8.65 ± 0.25ab |
