Tolerance tests, BGLs and body weight in male NOD mice initially on a phytoestrogen-free diet for 70 days and then switched to the soy-based diet for another 31 days. Glucose tolerance test (GTT) and insulin tolerance test (ITT) were conducted after BPS exposure for one month (A: GTT; B: ITT), 2 months (C: GTT; D: ITT) and 3 months (E: GTT; F: ITT). (G) Time course of non-fasting BGLs. (H) Changes in body weight over time. The values are presented as mean ± SEM. *, p < 0.05. N = 7–10. VHM, vehicle males.
