mice display gender-specific metabolic profiles. (a) Average blood glucose levels from measurements obtained between 9 and 24 weeks of age, (b) average plasma cholesterol, and (c) average plasma triglyceride levels of male and female and mice. Values are presented as individual mice and as mean ± SEM. Two-way ANOVA revealed interactions between diabetes and gender ((a)***, (b)**, (c)***), and significant effect of diabetes ((a)***, (b)***, (c)***) and of gender ((a)***, (c)***). Bonferroni post hoc test yielded *, ***.
