Urine glucose (qualitative)	Negative	Positive	Negative	Positive
Body weight (g)
HW/BW (g/kg)

Blood and urine glucose, body weight, and heart weight to body weight ratio (HW/BW) values are shown in the groups of control Sprague-Dawley (SD), streptozotocin- (STZ-) diabetic SD, ZDF lean, and ZDF diabetic rats. Values are means ± SEM. versus corresponding nondiabetic group.
