Fig 3. Effects of chronic treatment with MK-2305 in the GK rat.

Fig 3

(A) Morning blood glucose levels in GK rats treated with vehicle, 10, or 30 mg/kg of MK-2305, or 10 mg/kg rosiglitazone for 20 days in feed. (B) Fasted blood glucose levels on days 7 and 14 of the study were significantly reduced with MK-2305 and rosiglitazone treatment compared to vehicle controls. (C) Fasted plasma insulin levels on days 7 and 14. (D) Effects on food intake and (E) body weight during the chronic study. (F) Plasma insulin levels during a OGTT in chronically treated rats on day 13. Changes in blood glucose, food intake or body weight over time with MK-2305 or rosiglitazone vs. vehicle were analyzed by two-way ANOVA with repeated measures followed by Tukeys post hoc analysis. Changes in fasted glucose or insulin of glucose AUC were analyzed by one way ANOVA comparing MK-2305 or rosiglitazone treatments with vehicle followed by Dunnetts post hoc analysis. *p<0.05, **p<0.01.
