Figure 1. Early life antibiotic exposure alters glucose metabolism later in life.

Figure 1

At PND 49, oral glucose tolerance test was conducted to determine the effect of early antibiotic treatment on glucose homeostasis. After overnight fasting, blood glucose (A) was measured at 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 min after consuming 50 g of grounded pregrower fodder mixed with 2 g/kg glucose solution. Plasma insulin (B) was measured at 0, 15, 30 and 45 min. Area under the curve (AUC) of glucose response (C) and insulin secretion (D) were calculated from A and B, respectively. N = 8 for all groups.
