Figure 5. Blood Insulin and Glucose (9 months).

Figure 5

(A) Glucose (mg/dl) measured by a fasting oral glucose tolerance AUC did not differ in either males or females. (B) Insulin (ng/ml) is increased in males at the medium exposure area under the curve (AUC) and (C) Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR). Calculated from baseline blood insulin and glucose levels, indicates an index of insulin resistance. Males at the medium exposure level show a significant increase in HOMA-IR as over control. Single stars indicate p-values<0.05, when compared to controls. Bars represent standard error.
