Values are expressed as mean ± SD, n = 3/group.
The alphabetical symbols a, b, and c on the right shoulder of the number indicate intergroup comparisons. Different superscript letters indicate statistically significant differences among groups (P < 0.05).
N: nondiabetic normal control group. Mice were orally administered 1-mL pure water for 8 weeks. NCE: CE-treated nondiabetic normal control group. CE (100 mg/kg bw/day) was orally administered for 8 weeks.
2DM type 2 diabetes model mice group. Mice were orally administered 1-mL pure water for 8 weeks, 2DMCE CE-treated type 2 diabetes model mice group. CE (100 mg/kg bw/day) was orally administered for 8 weeks, bw body weight, TC plasma total cholesterol content, TG plasma triglyceride content, NEFA plasma nonesterified fatty acid content, Adipo plasma adiponectin content, Insulin plasma insulin content.
