Figure 3. Chronic feeding of high energy diet (HED) impairs glucose clearance.

Figure 3

Pigs fed control (CON, n = 11) or high energy diets (HED; n = 12) containing 15% fat and 35% refined sugars for 16 weeks and subjected to an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Pigs were fasted overnight and subsequently challenged with an oral bolus of 2 g glucose/kg BW. Blood samples were collected at indicated time intervals to determine plasma glucose (A) and insulin (C). The respective area under curves (B,D) were calculated. Data reported are LS mean ± SEM. *means differ at P<0.05. **means differ at P<0.001.
