Hyperglycemia and reduced adiposity of streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice are not alleviated by oral benzylamine supplementation

Figure 5 Bza oxidation in adipose tissue of normoglycemic and STZ-induced diabetic mice: lack of influence of dietary Bza consumption. Radiolabeled Bza was present at 0.1 mmol/L during 30 min incubation at 37°C with WAT homogenates from nondiabetic (white columns), nondiabetic Bza-drinking (red columns), STZ diabetic (yellow columns), STZ diabetic Bza-drinking (black columns). Mean ± SEM of eight determinations for nondiabetic mice and four determinations for lipoatrophic STZ diabetic mice. Different from nondiabetic at: ^aP < 0.02. No significant influence of Bza-treatment was detected. STZ: Streptozotocin; Bza: Benzylamine; WAT: White adipose tissues.
