(a) IPGTT was performed in BB rats treated with vehicle (circle) or L-NMMA (square) at 4, 7, and 9 weeks of age. The results are presented as means ± SEM of glycemia (mg/mL) at the stated times after glucose injection in an animals. (b) plasma insulin was quantified in blood samples obtained from BB rats treated with vehicle (white bars) or L-NMMA (black bars) at 4, 7, and 9 weeks of age. The results are presented as means ± SEM of insulin concentration (mU/mL) at fasting and 15 min after glucose injection in an animals.
