Table 2.
Plasma glucose concentrations at the onset (time 0) and after restraint shows that lard, but not sucrose ingestion increases glucose concentrations, suggesting that lard causes insulin resistance
| Glucose (mg/dl)
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chow control | Chow/ sucrose | Chow/ lard | Chow/sucrose/ lard | |
| Time after restraint (min) | ||||
| 0 | 123 ± 4a | 121 ± 7a | 144 ± 6b | 143 ± 8b |
| 15 | 188 ± 8 | 206 ± 8 | 190 ± 7 | 178 ± 17 |
| 240 | 146 ± 7 | 151 ± 8 | 150 ± 5 | 152 ± 7 |
Time 0 values represent data pooled from both experiments, which did not differ; n/group insulin is 9 or greater; n/group glucose is 11 or greater; groups within rows with same superscript letter do not differ from each other.
