Plasma glucose, insulin and NOx levels in different experimental groups

Groups
Variable	Adult	Old
Fasting plasma glucose (±SEM) (mg/dl)	97.90 (5.498)	117.7 (4.116)*
Basal plasma insulin (±SEM) (pmol/l)	147.5 (18.16)	142.9 (16.61)
Plasma NOx (±SEM) (μmol/l)	17.74 (1.664)	26.25 (2.166) *

Statistical comparison between groups was made using an unpaired t test, values are mean ± SEM, n= 6 in adult (4 month old) and old (12 month old). *P<0.05, statistically significant differences between groups.
