Blood Glucose AUC	10120 ± 667	18124 ± 919^*	12237 ± 464^†	15297 ± 1556^*

Data are means ± SEM. MetS, metabolic syndrome; MAP, mean arterial pressure; AUC, area under curve. Fasting glucose was taken during intravenous glucose tolerance tests or during routine blood glucose monitoring for the lean old group.

p < 0.05 compared with young lean swine;

^†

p < 0.05 compared with young MetS swine;

^‡

p < 0.05 compared with old lean swine.

The n-values of males and females for all groups applies to all Figures 1–3. (Lean young = 6; MetS young = 10; Lean old = 5; MetS old = 3)
