a, b Assessment of blood glucose (a) and plasma insulin levels (b) in 3-month-old and 6-month-old Wistar (W, open symbols) and GK (closed symbols) rats. c, d Measurements of blood glucose (c) and plasma insulin levels (d) during an intraperitoneal glucose (i.p.) tolerance test performed on 5-month-old Wistar and GK rats. The data are represented as mean ± SEM. e–h Serum levels of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) (e), and plasma concentrations of triacylgycerols (TG) (f), HDL-cholesterol(-C) (g) and LDL-cholesterol (-C) (h) at 3 and 6 months. p-values are from two-sided Mann–Whitney U test for unpaired comparisons (GK vs. Wistar rats). Unless indicated data are represented as scatter blot with mean ± SEM. n represents the number of biologically independent animals in each group. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
