Average glucose and insulin values at fasting, during the basal period, and steady-state period for SAL, PUL, and C-INF infusion groups

	Glucose, mg/dl			Insulin, pM
	SAL	C-INF	PUL	SAL	C-INF	PUL
Fasting	95.8 ± 1.8	93.7 ± 1.8	93.7 ± 2.2	33.6 ± 3.9	34.6 ± 3.3	41.2 ± 13.2
Basal	95.8 ± 2.1	92.1 ± 3.2	94.9 ± 3.7	63.2 ± 0.9	57.6 ± 2.6	54.3 ± 2.5
Steady state	99.6 ± 2.3	95.2 ± 2.6	96.7 ± 2.5	56.2 ± 2.6	66.5 ± 3.5	65.9 ± 1.3

Data are means ± SE. SAL, saline infusion; C-INF, constant octanoate infusion (1 mmol/min); PUL, pulsatile octanoate infusion (10 mmol for 2 min every 10 min). There was no significant difference between groups.
