Plasma glucose and insulin levels in genetically lean and fat sheep.

Abstract excerpt

This study investigated whether genetically lean and fat sheep displayed differences in insulin and glucose statuses. Lean genotype sheep had significantly (P < 0.05) greater basal glucose concentrations than fat genotype sheep (4.78 versus 4.52, SED = 0. 104 mmol/l), although basal plasma insulin was not significantly different (mean 304, SEM = 37.3 pmol/l) between the genotypes. During glucose tolerance tests...
