Figure 3: LDL levels at 2 weeks and 16 weeks of treatment. D+A;
diabetic mice treated with Vitamin A *P<0.05 compared
to control nondiabetic mice, **P<0.05 compared to
diabetic mice.
HDL were examined at week 2 and week 16 post-injection. At two weeks
both untreated and treated diabetic mice showed a significant decrease
in their HDL levels (4.7 ± 0.9 mmol/l, 4.8 ± 0.8 mmol/l,P < 0.05, respectively) compared with that of normal
mice. At 16 weeks treated diabetic mice showed a significant increase in
their HDL levels (12.3 ± 2.5 mmol/l, P < 0.05)
compared with that of untreated mice (Figure 4).
