(a) Box plot graph data of plasma cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) measured in control (𝑛=15) and diabetic (𝑛=5) guinea pigs. Statistical analysis was by Student’s t-test, *𝑃=0.037. (b) Box plot graph data of lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) measured in control (𝑛=15) and diabetic (𝑛=5) guinea pigs. (c) Paraoxonase (PON1) activity measured in control (𝑛=15) and diabetic (𝑛=5) guinea pigs. Statistical analysis was by Student’s t-test, *𝑃<0.001.
