Fasting blood glucose (mmol/L) during the glucose tolerance test (GTT), the insulin tolerance test (ITT) and the respirometry at the four different ambient temperatures in male C57/6JBom mice after 6 weeks on control or high fat diet (HFD). The overall mean at each temperature is also included (pooled).
Data presented as means ± SEM (n = 9–10 in each group, npooled = 29–30).
*
indicates significant effect of diet on fasting glucose, whereas
†
indicates significant effect of temperature on fasting glucose (Rep. Meas. ANOVA).
