Figure 1. Average blood glucose and body weight as a function of age.

Figure 1

ZDF rats were hyperglycemic in the fed state at 8 and 10 weeks of age, but measurements were highly variable. Blood glucose (a) in untreated ZDF (dashed line) and Lean (solid line) rats was measured in the fasted state. Treated ZDFs (ZDF-i) could not be fasted, and therefore fed values were obtained (dotted line). Body weights (b) of ZDF (dashed line), Lean (solid line) and ZDF-i rats (dotted line) are shown. Data presented are group mean +SD of 4–14 animals and significant differences (2 way ANOVA LSD; p<0.05) between ZDFs and Leans are denoted by *and between ZDF-i and the other experimental groups by #ZDF-i, insulin-treated ZDFs.
