TABLE 3.

Blood parameters after the IPGTT in rats overexpressing β-gal, WT LGS, or activated mutant LGS

At the end of the IPGTT (180 min), blood samples were taken in order to measure the metabolites and hormones indicated. Glucose was measured in whole blood, whereas the rest of the parameters were determined in plasma. Data are expressed as the mean ± S.E. for nine β-gal-, six WT LGS-, and five mutant LGS-overexpressing rats.

	β-gal	WT LGS	Mutant LGS
Glucose (mg/dl)	83 ± 6	91 ± 6	67 ± 4
Insulin (ng/ml)	2.3 ± 1	2.7 ± 1	2.8 ± 1
Triglycerides (mg/dl)	52 ± 10	47 ± 14	63 ± 8
Lactate (mg/dl)	27 ± 7	35 ± 3	40 ± 11
BHBA (mg/dl)	11 ± 2	13 ± 1	4 ± 1a

^a Significant differences relative to β-gal-overexpressing rats, with p < 0.05.
