HGF/VEGF plasmid injection to ischemic muscle impairs glucose tolerance, but not other metabolic parameters, at 3 weeks after surgery (10 + 3 weeks of experiment). (A) body weight dynamics during post-surgical period; (B) FBG level dynamics during post-surgical period; (C) GTT curves on 10 + 3 weeks of experiment; (D) ITT curves on 10 + 3 weeks of experiment. Abbreviations: LFD, low fat diet; HFD, high fat diet; FBG, fasting blood glucose; GTT, glucose tolerance test; ITT, insulin tolerance test. Data is presented as mean ± SEM; Kruskal–Wallis test with post-hoc Dunn’s test; * p < 0.05.
