Figure 3: Glucose tolerance of animals before and after entrance into OPA enclosures.

From: Human-relevant levels of added sugar consumption increase female mortality and lower male fitness in mice

Figure 3

Both glucose challenge time-course plots (a,b) and integrated area under the curve values are provided (c,d) for both female (a,c) and male (b,d) animals. Fructose/glucose-fed females had reduced glucose tolerance relative to controls (ANOVA, n=24, P=0.037). Animals of both sexes and treatments had reduced glucose clearance in cages before entrance into OPA enclosures (cage) compared with rates after OPA entrance (OPA) (ANOVA F:M, n=24: n=16, P=0.024: P<0.0001). Lines and bars represent means and error bars represent s.e.. *Indicates P<0.05 with a Bonferroni’s post test.
