APP23 mice show a better glucose tolerance than WT mice, but ADV APP23 mice are more vulnerable to SRD-induced glucose intolerance. Glucose tolerance can be moderately improved by chia seeds in ADV APP23 and age-matched WT mice. (a,b) Glucose tolerance of PRE (a) and ADV mice (b) represented by area under the curve in (mg/dl) × min in week 12 at the end of pretreatment. (c,d) Glucose tolerance of PRE (c) and ADV mice (d) represented by area under the curve in (mg/dl) × min in week 20 at the end of therapy. Each box represents the 25th to 75th percentile, the line represents the median, whiskers reach from minimum to maximum. An asterisk indicates significant differences between groups regardless of significance level (p < 0.05), according to nonparametric multiple contrast Tukey-type test. WT wild type control, APP23 transgenic mouse model, PRE pre-plaque stage, ADV advanced-plaque stage, CD control, SRD sucrose-rich, Chia chia seed supplementation.
