  1. aMeans at 0 min, 120 min and 240 min after insulin injection (denoted the time effect). Data are expressed as mean ± standard error. Different capital letters across time indicates P < 0.05, * across breed indicates P < 0.05, absence of letter or * indicates that the statistical analysis was non-significant. NS = not significant, # means P < 0.05.
