Figure 4. Glucose intolerance and hyperglycemia following exposure to ozone in animals fed a normal or oil-based diet.
GTT (A) was conducted following exposure to filtered air or 0.8 ppm ozone, 4h/day for 1 day in animals fed either a normal diet (ND) or diet enriched with coconut oil (CO), fish oil (FO), or olive oil (OO). Ozone-induced hyperglycemia (B) was measured at baseline prior to glucose injection. Area under the curve (C) was calculated for each group. Data show mean ± SEM (n=8/group). * = p<0.05 significantly different than filtered air group within same diet. † = p<0.05 significantly different than ND group for the same exposure. ‡ = p<0.05 significantly different than CO diet group for the same exposure. § = p<0.05 significantly different than FO diet group for the same exposure.
