Insulin Resistance Promotes Early Atherosclerosis via Increased Proinflammatory Proteins and Oxidative Stress in Fructose-Fed ApoE-KO Mice

Table 1

Average plasma glucose, insulin, and lipid levels in WT and ApoE-KO mice fed with control diet or high fructose diet.

	Glucose (mg/dL)	Insulin(ng/mL)	Cholesterol (mg/dL)	Triglycerides (mg/dL)
WT-control diet	161.2±0.6	nd	71.41±1.5	91±1.2
WT-fructose fed	142.7±5.4	nd	130.35±6.3^♯	83.8±0.7
ApoE-control diet	143.4±25.9	0.85±0.03	391.6±6.0	114.10±3.5
ApoE-fructose fed	216.2±22.2 *	1.27±0.19 *	382.0±34.5	190.2±18.2 *

Values are the mean ± SD (𝑛=12)^♯𝑃<0.05 versus WT control diet, *𝑃<0.001versus ApoE control diet.
