(a) 6 hours fasting blood glucose concentrations of donors (N and R) and recipients (NR and RR) are shown. (b) Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed near the end of HF feeding period. Blood glucose taken at the baseline, 15, 30, 60 and 120 min after the oral glucose gavage are shown. Insert shows the area under the glucose curve. (c) Blood samples were taken from the tail vein at baseline, 15 min and 60 min after oral glucose gavage, and plasma insulin concentrations were determined. Insert indicates the area under the insulin curve. Data are mean ± s.e.m., n = 12/group. *p < 0.05 by unpaired t-test.
