(A)–(B) Plasma glucose and lactate concentrations before and after treatment with mifepristone. (C)–(D) Whole-body fatty acid and glycerol turnover. (E) Hepatic acetyl-CoA content. (F)–(G) Whole-body β-OHB and glucose turnover. (H) Plasma leptin concentrations. In all panels, data are the mean±S.E.M. of n=6, with data from before and after mifepristone treatment compared by the 2-tailed paired Student’s t-test. See also Fig. S6.
