*3*.*1*. *Blood Glucose and Body Weight*

Body weight and blood glucose data from the experimental rats were obtained throughout the study period (Table 1). Similar to our previous study [25], the diabetic control group of rats had a significantly decreased body weight and an increased blood glucose level compared with the nondiabetic control group. There were no significant differences in those parameters between the AA-supplemented groups and their controls.



The data are shown as mean ± SD. **\*** *p* < 0.01 *vs*. the nondiabetic group (*n =* 6–7).
