Plasma parameters following a glucose challenge and weight of RIP-UCP2 mice.
| Glucose | Insulin | Glucagon | Leptin | Body mass | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (mM) | (pg/mL) | (pg/mL) | (pg/mL) | (g) | |
| WT (t0) | 5.2 ± 0.8 | 531 ± 120 | 41.5 ± 8.4 | 156 ± 64 | 27.7 ± 2.0 |
| WT (t15) | 21.9 ± 7.2 | 1037 ± 123 | 41.7 ± 8.6 | 166 ± 70 | |
| RIP-UCP2 (t0) | 5.5 ± 0.8 | 662 ± 111 | 55.7 ± 11.1 | 112 ± 20 | 29.9 ± 1.5 |
| RIP-UCP2 (15) | 24.5 ± 3.7 | 865 ± 93 | 51.8 ± 9.8 | 116 ± 24 |
The intraperitoneal glucose challenge was performed on 4-month old mice using 2 g of glucose per kg of body weight. Blood samples were collected from tail vein at time 0 (t0) and 15 min after injection (t15). Values are means ± SE, n = 5.
