P. gingivalis may have functional effects on IR in vitro. Laser confocal microscopic observation of the changes in glucose uptake ability in hepatocytes (× 400), myocytes (× 200), and adipocytes (× 200) cocultured with P. gingivalis and the results of semiquantitative analysis. Green represents glucose that was taken up by the cells. ***P < 0.001
