Groups A to E were dosed once during baseline on Day -6 with PEG30-SH (662 mg/kg sc) and on Days 1, 8, 15 and 22 and 29 as indicated above. Groups F to I were dosed bid from Day 1 as indicated above. On Day 30, 24 hours after the final dose on Day 29, freely feeding terminal blood samples were taken by cardiac puncture. Plasma samples were analysed for glucose, insulin, cholesterol, glycerol and true TAG. A log transformation was used except for glucose. Analysis was by General Linear model and included treatment as a factor and bleeding order and Day 1 body weight as covariates. Data are shown as adjusted means (n=7-8) and standard errors of the mean (SEM) are calculated from the residuals of the statistical models. Comparisons against the appropriate vehicle were by the multiple t-test and significances are denoted by *p<0.05 and ***p<0.001.
