Body weight of and fasting blood glucose and plasma insulin levels in postpubertal baboon offspring

Treatment Age (yrs) Body wt (kg) Glucose (mg/dl) Insulin (μIU/ml) Ratio Glucose/Insulin
Untreated 5.4 ± 0.3 13.4 ± 0.8 68 ± 2 6.6 ± 1.0 13.8 ± 3.4
Letrozole 5.7 ± 0.3 14.3 ± 1.2 67 ± 2 12.0 ± 2.2* 6.8 ± 1.3**

Values are expressed as means ± SE on the day of iv glucose tolerance test in offspring from baboons untreated (n = 11) or treated on days 100–165/175 of gestation (term = 184 days) with letrozole (115 μg/kg body weight/day via maternal sc injection, n = 9)
