From: Taurine ameliorates hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia by reducing insulin resistance and leptin level in Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima fatty (OLETF) rats with long-term diabetes

Figure 5

The effects of taurine supplementation on serum lipid and serum adipokine levels in OLETF rats. (A) Levels of triglycerides (TG), cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). (B) Serum adiponectin and leptin levels in OLETF rats after adhering to a taurine diet for 12 weeks. Between-group differences were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test. Differences were considered statistically significant at P < 0.05. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; NS, not significant.
