The Risk of Heart Failure and Cardiometabolic Complications in Obesity May Be Masked by an Apparent Healthy Status of Normal Blood Glucose
Figure 6
Effects of hemin on glucose tolerance, insulin resistance (HOMA-IR index), and adiponectin. Hemin therapy (a) improved glucose tolerance (IPGTT), (b) increased glucose-stimulated insulin release, (c) reduced insulin resistance, and (d) increased adiponectin. Bars represent means ± SEM; rats per group (*, ** versus ZL control; † versus ZL control; @ versus ZF+hemin+SnMP or ZF control).
