How Fast Is Recovery of Impaired Glucose Tolerance after 21-Day Bed Rest (NUC Study) in Healthy Adults?

Figure 2

(a) Area under the curve (AUC) of glucose concentrations (mean values (SEM)) after 120 min following an oral glucose tolerance test during the in-house ambulatory phase (BDC), after 20 days (day 21) in head-down tilt bed rest (HDT) and after 4 (R+5, in-house) and 13 (R+14) days of recovery. NS: not significant. *𝑃<0.05; **𝑃<0.01. (b) Mean values and SEM of the AUC of serum insulin concentrations (mean values (SEM)) after 120 min following an oral glucose tolerance test on the identical days as glucose concentration was analyzed. NS: not significant. *𝑃<0.05; **𝑃<0.01; ***𝑃<0.001.
