Biochemical parameters in Goto-Kakizaki (GK) and control rats 24 h after sham operation or myocardial infarction.

	W + sham	GK + sham	W + MI	GK + MI
Plasma glucose [mmol/L]	8.5 ± 0.4	12.8 ± 1.5	8.4 ± 0.6	19.2 ± 2.3
Plasma triglycerides [mg/dL]	67 ± 9	60 ± 9	67 ± 7	88 ± 8
Plasma cholesterol [mg/dL]	70 ± 8	93 ± 6	71 ± 7	91 ± 7
Serum insulin [mU/L]	6.3 ± 0.8	5.3 ± 0.2	5.4 ± 0.5	5.1 ± 0.6
Urine glucose [g/L]	0.13 ± 0.02	0.73 ± 0.28	0.14 ± 0.03	0.76 ± 0.15

Data is expressed as mean ± SEM; versus W + sham; versus GK + sham; versus W + MI; MI indicates myocardial infarction; GK: Goto-Kakizaki; W: Wistar.
