Sustained Self-Regulation of Energy Intake: Initial Hunger Improves Insulin Sensitivity
Figure 2
Blood glucose and plasma insulin concentrations during GTT in control and trained subjects at the beginning and at the end of the study. Blood glucose (a) and insulin (b) mean levels in control (black circles) and trained (red squares) subjects at baseline (open symbols) and after 5 months (closed symbols). Vertical bars are standard errors. Asterisks indicate significant decrease of blood glucose (a) and insulin (b) in the trained subjects after training compared to their respective baseline values (). In contrast, no decrease between baseline values and those at the end of the study was observed in control subjects. The insulin decrease in trained subjects at 60 and 90βmin also differed significantly from the control group ( and , resp.).
