Figure 2. Mean glucose, insulin, C-peptide, and leptin responses (±SEM) to an oral glucose tolerance test in prenatally stressed (PS, ‘black circles’) and comparison group (CG, ‘white triangles’) individuals (left panel).

Figure 2

Glucose levels were not significantly different across the groups, however, PS individuals showed significantly elevated 2 h insulin (P=0.01) and C-peptide levels (P=0.03), as well as higher leptin levels at all time points during the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) (P=0.05). In addition, PS individuals had a higher % body fat and a higher BMI (P=0.04, right panel). Adapted with permission from [23].
