Figure 1

Glucose metabolism in 12-hour fasted rats born to DEX-treated mothers. (A) GTT, (B) ITT and (C) PTT were performed in 12-hour fasted CTL (rats born to untreated mothers) and DEX (rats born to DEX-treated mothers) rats. The AUCs were calculated for glucose tests and PTTs. The KITT was calculated for ITTs. (D) Hepatic determination of pck1 and gcpc mRNA was normalized to rpl37a expression. (E) Hepatic determination of PEPCK and G6Pase was normalized to β actin. Data are shown as the mean ± S.E.M.; *p < 0.05 vs. CTL.
