Whole body sensitivity and brain, liver, skeletal muscle glucose uptake in lean, obese and VNS conditions

	Lean	Obese *	Obese-Stimulated §
Whole body Insulin sensitivity (μU.min-1.kg-1)	6.4 ± 0.25	4.2 ± 0.37	5.2 ± 0.23
Brain glucose uptake (µmoles.min-1.100g-1)	19.1 ± 1.71	11.9 ± 2.64	18.4 ± 2.14
Hepatic glucose uptake (µmoles.min-1.ml-1)	0.024 ± 0.0205	0.016 ± 0.0017	0.024 ± 0.0020
Skeletal muscle glucose uptake (µmoles. min-1.kg-1)	43.5 ± 7.38	35.3 ± 2.07	44.8 ± 5.35

^*Significantly different from Lean at p < 0.01 § Significantly different from Obese at p < 0.01 No data were significantly different between Lean and obese-stimulated
