Glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity and pancreatic islet size. (A) Fasting serum glucose, (B) Fasting serum insulin, (C) Glucose concentrations during intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (ipGTT), (D) ipGTT area under the curve (AUC), (E) Glucose concentrations during intraperitoneal insulin tolerance test (ipITT), (F) ipITT area under the curve (AUC), (G) Islet size quantification and (H) Representative hematoxylin and eosin stained pancreatic islets of mice fed the Control diet (Control), a High-fat diet (HF) or a High-fat diet with whole pecans (HF WP), or a High-fat diet with phenolic extract, 3 mg (HF 3PP) or 6 mg (HF 6PP). Results are presented as the mean ± S.E.M., n = 6. Differences were considered statistically significant at p < 0.05. Statistical differences between groups are indicated with lowercase letters, where a > b.
