Metabolic characteristics of experimental groups.

	NDM	DM
Number	8	3	4
TG (mg/dL)
NEFA (mEq/L)
SBP (mmHg)

NDM: nondiabetic mice; DM: mice with STZ-induced diabetes; : STZ-induced diabetic mice treated with EPA-E; EPA-E: ethyl eicosapentaenoate; TG: triglyceride; NEFA: nonesterified fatty acid; SBP: systolic blood pressure. Data expressed as . vs. NDM. Blood sampling and blood pressure measurement could not be performed on all mice due to their conditions.
