Fig 2. HOMA-IR levels and glucose tolerance test in E-cig- and MCS-exposed mice.

Fig 2

Mice were exposed to E-cig or MCS for 12 weeks. For E-cig exposures propylene glycerol: vegetable glycerine 50:50, v/v was used as vehicle to aerosolize nicotine. Blood glucose (A) and insulin levels (B) were utilized to calculate HOMA-IR scores (C) (n = 13-15/group). Glucose (1 g/kg; i.p.) tolerance test (GTT) in mice exposed to E-cig (D; n = 6/group) or MCS (E; n = 8/group) was performed after 11–12 weeks of exposure. Insets show area under the curve for exposed mice. Values are mean ± SD.
