A) Relationship between mean insulin area under the curve (AUCinsulin) and mean glucose clearance (K) from the present study compared to values found in the literature for adult female elephant seals (S.GTT) (11), Sprague-Dawley rats (R.GTT) (13), Long Evans Tokushima Otsuka rats (LETO.GTT) (25), humans (H.GTT) (30), and mice (M.ITT) (36). B) Simplified schematic summarizing the effects of GLP-1 on the pancreas and adrenal glands with relation to their glucoregulatory capabilities. Solid lines are representative of steps leading to increased blood glucose, dashed lines are representative of steps leading to decreased blood glucose.
