Impaired glucose clearance after a meal tolerance test in MetS/D-A swine. a Plasma glucose was monitored for 7 h after a meal, which revealed the lean and MetS group had comparable glucose clearance and the MetS/D-A group had impaired glucose clearance. p values are compared to lean group. b Area under the curve analysis shows postprandial hyperglycemia in the MetS/D-A swine as compared to all other groups. *p < 0.05 compared with lean swine; ^†p < 0.05 compared with MetS swine; ^‡p < 0.05 compared with MetS-A swine. (Lean = 8; MetS = 3; MetS-A = 3; MetS/D-A = 3.)
