Effects of dietary flaxseed oil treatment on glucolipid metabolism in diverse groups. a Schematic diagram of the study. SD rats with 200-250 g were conditioned for 1 week. Then T2DM model (FBG > 13.9 mmol/L) were successfully induced by the intraperitoneal (i.p) administration of STZ-NA within another 1 week. For a subsequent period of 5 weeks, rats in diverse groups were respectively administrated with corn oil (CO) and flaxseed oil (FO) in control group (PF) or T2DM model group (DM). Body mass (BM) and FBG for each group were determined weekly. After 5 weeks of intervention, rats were euthanized and associated indications were investigated. b Body mass (BM); c Fasting blood glucose (FBG); d Glycated hemoglobin (GHb); e Insulin (INS); f Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR); g TG: Triglyceride; h TC: Total cholesterol; i LDL-C: Low density lipoprotein cholesterol; j HDL-C: High density lipoprotein cholesterol. Data was presented as mean ± SEM (n = 6). Data was *P < 0.05, ** P < 0.001, NS not significant (one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc test)
