Fig. 3. Oleate-induced decrease in glucose infusion rate in wildtype mice is partially prevented in BESTO mice.
Plasma free fatty acid levels (a), plasma glucose levels (b), and glucose infusion rate (Ginf) (c) during the one-step hyperglycemic clamp. BESTO mice (TG) or wildtype (WT) littermates were treated for 48 h with either (1) saline (WTSAL, n = 8; TGSAL, n = 7) or (2) oleate at 3.9 μmol/min (WTOLE, n = 8; TGOLE, n = 8). Data are means ± SEM and refer to the last 30 min of the basal period and clamp. a #p < 0.05 WTOLE vs. WTSAL and TGSAL, ++p < 0.01 TGOLE vs. TGSAL and WTSAL. b #p < 0.05 WTOLE vs. WTSAL and TGSAL, +p < 0.05 TGOLE vs. TGSAL and WTSAL. c Δp < 0.05 vs. all
