The Characterization of High-Fat Diet and Multiple Low-Dose Streptozotocin Induced Type 2 Diabetes Rat Model

Table 2

FBG, FINS, and ISI in STZ (45 mg/kg, IP) group and control group.

Group	𝑁	FBG (mmol/L)	FINS (mIU/L)	ISI
CON1	20	5.18±0.55	11.8±2.93	−3.85±0.27
DM4	20	24.5±3.75^**	3.97±0.86^*	−4.10±0.32

CON1: control group; DM4: 8 weeks after STZ 45 mg/kg IP once, 𝑁: number of rats in each group; FBG: fasting blood glucose at 8 weeks after STZ injection; ISI = ln (FBG × FINS)⁻¹; FINS: fasting plasma insulin level; ^**𝑃<.001, ^*𝑃<.05, DM4 versus control group.
