Effect of Food Restriction on Adipose Tissue in Spontaneously Diabetic Torii Fatty Rats

Figure 1

Changes in body weights (a) and serum parameters ((b) Glucose; (c) Triglyceride; (d) Insulin; (e) Leptin; (f) Adiponectin) in Fatty rats, Fatty-PF rats, and SDT rats. Body weight in Fatty-PF rats showed similar change to that in SDT rats. Hyperglycemia and hypertriglyceridemia in Fatty rats were temporally improved by food restriction, and the hyperinsulinemia was maintained to 12 weeks of age. Serum leptin and adiponectin levels were elevated in the Fatty-PF rats. Data represent means SD ( -6). * , ** : significantly different from SDT rat.
