Effect of 1-day exposure of IH or CH on insulin sensitivity and glucose effectiveness. Mean ± SE values for a insulin sensitivity (SI) and b glucose effectiveness (Sg) for each experimental group of intermittent air (IA), intermittent hypoxia (IH), unhandled (UN) control, and continuous hypoxia (CH) after 1 day of exposure. Significance determined by two-way ANOVA with differences between the means of the four experimental groups assessed by a post-hoc Newman–Keuls test. *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.005 for IH versus IA or CH versus UN
