INS and hydrops fetalis: Five months of HF diet feeding resulted in a significant threefold increase in insulin levels, and although the insulin levels doubled in the HF + HS group compared to the CD group, the difference did not reach significant values (male: CD = 0.92 ± 0.1; HF = 3.05 ± 0.2*; HF + HS = 1.96 ± 0.6 ng/ml; n = 3–4/group; *p < 0.05 vs. CD).
