(a) IPGTT experiments. (b) AUC of glucose. (c) IPITT experiments. (d) AUC of glucose. (e) Fasting blood glucose. (f) Serum insulin levels. (g) HOMA-IR levels. IPGTT: intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test; AUC: area under the curve; IPITT: intraperitoneal insulin tolerance test; INS: insulin; HOMA-IR: homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance. ∗p < 0.05 and ∗∗p < 0.01.
