Figure 4. Reversal of the anti-diabetogenic effects of gluten-free chow by supplementation with gluten and overall effective of gluten-free chow on the incidence of hyperglycemia in NOD mice.

(A) Blood glucose levels were measured every two weeks for two cohorts of mice: mice that were weaned and maintained upon an egg white-based gluten-free (EW-GFC) chow (N = 19) and a casein-based gluten-free chow supplemented with gluten (GS-GFC) (N = 23). The overall incidence of hyperglycemia is depicted. (B) Diabetes incidence data from all diet groups were pooled and presented as gluten-free (both GFC-C and EW-GFC) (N = 51) and gluten-containing (standard GCC and GS-GFC) (N = 39) P<0.05 for each time point.
