Paradoxical Glucose-Sensitizing yet Proinflammatory Effects of Acute ASP Administration in Mice

Figure 2

ASP affects substrate partitioning. Relative ³H-deoxyglucose uptake in adipose tissue (AdT), liver and skeletal muscle is shown in (a). Relative nonesterified fatty acid content of liver, and skeletal muscle is shown in (b). Results are expressed as relative absorption or content compared with controls (vehicle) which are set as 1.0. Results are expressed as mean ± SEM where differences versus controls (vehicle) are expressed as ^∗𝑃<0.05 and ^∗∗𝑃<0.01, with 𝑛 = 7-8 per group.
