Blood glucose and plasma insulin levels in baboon offspring after an iv glucose tolerance test

Treatment Glucose (mg/dl)
Glucose (AUC) Insulin (μIU/ml)
Insulin (AUC) Glucose AUC Insulin AUC
Mean 1+3+5 min Mean 1+3+5 min - baseline Mean 1+3+5 min Mean 1+3+5 min - baseline
Untreated 165 ± 4a 99 ± 5 977 ± 34a 32.4 ± 3.8a 26.6 ± 4.4a 192 ± 23a 5.84 ± 0.72a

Letrozole + estradiol 169 ± 2a,b 99 ± 5 1006 ± 10a,b 53.2 ± 3.7a,b 44.9 ± 2.2a,b 318 ± 22c 3.24 ± 0.27a

Values are the means ± SE of the average levels of blood glucose and plasma insulin at 1, 3 and 5 min, area under curve (AUC) for glucose and insulin, and ratio of glucose AUC ÷ insulin AUC after an iv bolus of dextrose to prepubertal offspring from baboons untreated (n=10) or treated with letrozole (n=5), or letrozole plus estradiol (n=4). Values with different letters are different from each other (P<0.05, glucose: P<0.01, insulin; ANOVA, Tukey-Kramer Multiple Comparison test).
