Table 1 Serum biochemistry results in db/m and db/db mice

	db/m-control	db/m-WSCA	db/db-control	db/db-WSCA
AST (IU/L)	54.9 ± 12.4	40.9 ± 9.0	76.5 ± 16.6	58.8 ± 9.1*
ALT (IU/L)	13.3 ± 1.4	13.0 ± 2.7	42.4 ± 9.7	33.1 ± 9.0
TC (mg/dL)	86.8 ± 9.8	91.7 ± 3.9	169.6 ± 20.9	113.2 ± 10.6**
TG (mg/dL)	21.8 ± 7.7	22.8 ± 10.2	40.4 ± 19.7	31.6 ± 4.3
LDL-C (mg/dL)	5.8 ± 3.1	7.2 ± 1.3	10.0 ± 1.4	8.4 ± 5.4
NEFA (μEq/L)	953.2 ± 193.3	1113.5 ± 126.9	1633.6 ± 254.9	1408.0 ± 492.3
GA (%)	2.2 ± 0.3	1.9 ± 0.4	7.8 ± 1.0	3.0 ± 0.7**

Data are expressed as the mean ± SD (n = 7 in db/m mice, n = 7 in db/db mice).
AST denotes aspartate aminotransferase, ALT denotes alanine aminotransferase, TC denotes total cholesterol, TG denotes tolyglycelide, NEFA denotes non-esterified fatty acid, GA denotes glycated albumin.
*p < 0.05, and **p < 0.01 compared to the db/db-control group.
