TABLE 2.
Blood glucose levels during an intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (IPGTT) with intraperitoneally administered dH-EX or saline, after an IVGTT with i3vt GLP-1 or saline, and after intravenously administered saline plus i3vt GLP-1 or saline
| GLP-1 | Saline | dH-EX | |
|---|---|---|---|
| IPGTT (min) | |||
| 0 | 87 ± 3 | 90 ± 4 | |

| 30 | 281 ± 19 | 248 ± 17 | |
| 45 | 253 ± 16 | 211 ± 17 | |
| 60 | 228 ± 16 | 185 ± 13 | |
| IVGTT (min) | |||
| 0 | 94 ± 4 | 96 ± 4 | |
| 2 | 279 ± 20 | 245 ± 29 | |
| 4 | 241 ± 10 | 224 ± 17 | |
| 10 | 169 ± 16 | 161 ± 17 | |
| 20 | 122 ± 13 | 115 ± 10 | |
| Intravenous saline (min) | |||
| 0 | 94 ± 7 | 92 ± 4 | |
| 2 | 89 ± 8 | 95 ± 4 | |
| 4 | 94 ± 7 | 93 ± 6 | |
| 10 | 97 ± 10 | 91 ± 6 | |
| 20 | 107 ± 12 | 91 ± 7 |
There were no statistical differences in glucose levels between intraperitoneal dH-EX and saline during the intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test or between i3vt GLP-1 versus saline with either intravenous glucose or saline.
