INS and type 2 diabetes mellitus: Moreover, biochemical markers of T2DM, including triglycerides (TG) (P < 0.0001, CG versus T2DM) (Fig. 2E), total cholesterol (T-CHO) (P < 0.0001, CG versus T2DM) (Fig. 2G), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) (P = 0.0306, CG versus T2DM) (Fig. 2F) were significantly higher, and there were significant reductions in the levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) (P = 0.0005, CG versus T2DM) (Fig. 2H) and insulin (INS) (P < 0.0001, CG versus T2DM) (Fig. 3H).
