Effect of Diet and Exercise on the Peripheral Immune System in Young Balb/c Mice

Figure 2

Plasma glucose. Glucose was determined by the colorimetric method at the end of the experiment. In the sedentary and exercised mice, the carbohydrate-rich and fat-rich diets caused a higher level of glycemia than that found in animals with the standard diet. Compared to sedentary mice, exercised animals had a lower level of glycemia with all diets (Bonferroni test ). Data are expressed as the mean ± SD ( per treatment group).
