The change of tissue lipid levels and fatty acid compositions in alloxan-induced diabetes was studied in rats (SD, male) in order to examine the pathway of diabetic complications. Rats were injected with alloxan 20 mg/kg BW or 40 mg/kg BW to induce diabetes. In rats injected with alloxan (40 mg/kg BW), the body weight was significantly decreased, food intake and liver weight per 100 g (BW) were significantly increased, compared with other groups. The blood glucose levels were apparently elevated as about 2 times in rats injected with alloxan (40 mg/kg BW) than the other groups. The concentrations of serum total cholesterol, triglyceride and HDL-cholesterol were not significantly different among the groups. However, the levels of serum triglyceride tended to increase according to amount of alloxan injected.
