Figure 4From: Fructose impairs glucose-induced hepatic triglyceride synthesisEffect of dietary fructose on glucose disposal. (a) Intraperitoneal glucose tolerance tests in mice following 12-week standard (STD) (hatched line) high glucose (HG) (solid line) or high fructose (HF) (dotted line) diets depicting glucose levels after overnight fast at baseline (0), 15, 30, 60 and 120 minutes after glucose 1 g/kg administration. The area under the curve (AOC) (Mean SD) for each of the groups is depicted in the bar chart (d). (e) Insulin levels at baseline and following the IP glucose load in the three groups. STD, standard diet; HG, high glucose diet; HF, high fructose diet. *, p < 0.05, **, p < 0.01.Back to article page
