• reduced basal (non-postprandial) glucose levels in 16 week old mice as compared to wild-type
• reduction occurs on both standard chow and high caloric diet (HCD)
|
• improved intraperitoneal glucose tolerance in 11-13 week old mice on chow diet as compared to wild-type
• improved intraperitoneal glucose tolerance in 18-20 week old mice on high calorie diet as compared to wild-type
|
• enhanced insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle and liver as compared to wild-type
• increased insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in gastrocnemius and soleus muscle, but not in brain, interscapular brown adipose or epididymal adipose tissue
