HOMA-IR level of the LETO and OLETF rats at 30 and 50 weeks of age.

	30 weeks of age	50 weeks of ages
LETO	14.74 ± 6.73	10.70 ± 2.46
OLETF	27.87 ± 5.60	15.20 ± 1.12*

HOMA-IR: homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance; HOMA-IR = fasting insulin (μU/mL) × fasting plasma glucose (mmoL/L)/22.5. OLETF: Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima fatty rats; LETO: Long-Evans Tokushima rats. All data are expressed as means ± SE. ^∗𝑃<0.05 compared with at 30 weeks of age (𝑛=3-5).
