Postprandial circulating insulin levels and relationships between fasting blood glucose and body weight during maturation and aging of Wistar and Goto-Kakizaki rats. Wistar rats: black symbols; GK rats: gray and white symbols. Postprandial insulinemia in blood of (a) all studied GK rats versus Wistar rats; (b) hyperglycemic GK rats were selected versus all studied Wistar rats at age as indicated; and (c) relationship of blood glucose in a fasting state on body weight at the age of six weeks (white squares; black diamonds), 15 weeks (circles), and 37 weeks (triangles).
