How Fast Is Recovery of Impaired Glucose Tolerance after 21-Day Bed Rest (NUC Study) in Healthy Adults?
Figure 1
(a) Mean values and SEM of serum glucose concentrations following an oral glucose tolerance test during the in-house ambulatory phase (BDC), on day 21 in head-down tilt bed rest (HDT) and after 4 (R+5, in-house) and 13 (R+14) days of recovery. *** for the comparison of the prebed rest to bed rest. (b) Mean values of serum insulin concentrations following an oral glucose tolerance test on the identical days and points in time as glucose concentrations were analyzed. *** for the comparison of the prebed rest to bed rest.
