From: Dietary intake of cod and scallop reduces atherosclerotic burden in female apolipoprotein E-deficient mice fed a Western-type high fat diet for 13 weeks

 

Dietary treatments

 

Chicken (n = 12)

Cod-scallop (n = 10)

Glucagon (pg/ml)

698 ± 202

1054 ± 333

Insulin (ng/ml)

1.4 ± 0.4

  1. The mice were fed diets containing different protein sources for 13 weeks. Data are mean ± SEM (n = 10–12). Data for leptin were analyzed using the independent samples t-Test. Data for insulin were log transformed before analysis using the independent samples t-Test. Data for glucagon were analyzed using the non-parametric Mann–Whitney U test. * indicate significant difference (p < 0.05) between dietary treatments
