Table 1. Plasma hormones and metabolite levels in offspring at the age of 17 weeks.

17 Weeks
Control BPA HFD HFD+BPA
Glucose Fasted State (mg/dL) 121±6 163±13a 190±9b 182±7c
Glucose (mg/dL) 189±8 209±13 210±14 218±6
Insulin (ng/mL) 2.0±0.3 3.9±0.6 4.0±0.9 3.4±0.5

All measurements were performed in the fed state, otherwise stated. Fasting glucose was measured after 6 hours of fasting (n≥6 animals from ≥5 litters). Data are expressed in mean±SEM. Significance p<0.05 by one way ANOVA followed by Dunnet's method;

a

control vs. BPA;

b

control vs. HFD,

c

control vs. HFD-BPA.

*p<0.05 Students t-test, comparing each condition with Control and p<0.1 using Kruskal-Wallis one way ANOVA on ranks.
