Table 2 Terminal tissue weights and plasma hormones and NEFA levels in experiment 4. NEFA levels were determined in 5h-fasted mice on the days shown. Other measurements were in fed mice on day 77.

From: Prolonged treatment of genetically obese mice with conjugated linoleic acid improves glucose tolerance and lowers plasma insulin concentration: possible involvement of PPAR activation
