Figure 1
Plasma glucose and insulin responses during an oral glucose (1 g k) tolerance test (OGTT) in fructose chow-fed rats repeatedly receiving oral administration of DBT at 0.5 g k (filled inverted triangle), 1.5 g k (open triangle) or 2.5 g k (filled square), once a day for 14 days. Rosiglitazone was given by oral gavage (4 mg k per day) for 14 days to the separate groups of the fructose chow-fed rats (open square). The vehicle (distilled water) used to dissolve the tested medications was given at the same volume. Values (mean SD) were obtained from each group of eight animals. and compared with the values of vehicle-treated fructose chow-fed rats (unfilled circle) at the indicated times, respectively.
