Figure 1

Body weight and glucose levels. (a) Body weight was measured weekly showing a decline in weight with diabetes. **Indicates significant differences ( ) in control (circles) versus the two diabetic groups (squares and triangles). (b) Both diabetic groups had significantly higher blood glucose levels during each week, when compared to the nondiabetic sedentary mice (circles). Blood glucose for the exercised diabetic group (triangles) was lower than the sedentary diabetic group (squares) during the first two weeks. *Indicates significant difference ( ) in nonexercised diabetic versus exercised diabetic groups. Data from all animals in each group were analyzed for the figure at each time point; control ( ) and sedentary diabetic ( ) and exercised diabetic ( ).
