- Values are given as mean ± SEM after treatment; n = number of animals, FFA = free fatty acids, HOMA = homeostasis model assessment, EA = electroacupuncture, SBRs = steroid background rats. Percentage (%) change from 0 to 60 min is shown in the column labeled FFA (0–60 min) %. The data for these four variables were compared using one way ANOVA. AX > BX, the least significant difference post hoc was taken; p < 0.05, the variable of "X = 1 to 4" represents the different indexes.
