Body weight, blood glucose, triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL and HDL in control and diabetic mice of different genotypes (experimental set 1).

Values represent mean ± SD. HDL, high density lipoprotein; LDL, low density lipoprotein. Blood glucose represents average blood glucose values during the experiments (from week 2 until termination). Body weight and lipids express values measured at the end of the experiments. Two HDL-cholesterol measurements in the “wt diabetes” group yielded higher than total cholesterol values, and were therefore excluded from calculations. Missing values are due to limited plasma availability. Two-way analyses of variance (for the effects of diabetes and genotype) revealed no interactions between factors. Bonferroni posttests yielded **p<0.01, ***p<0.001 for comparisons between control and diabetes of the same genotype; #p<0.05 and ###p<0.001 vs. wt control.
