Effects of chronic systemic inflammation on serum FFA concentrations, glucose and insulin resistance of C57BL/6J mice . (A) FFA concentrations in the serum of C57BL/6J mice. (B) The fasting blood glucose concentrations in the C57BL/6J mice were measured as described in Materials and Methods. * P < 0.05 versus NCD, † P < 0.05 versus HFD. (C) Glucose tolerance tests (glucose-stimulated blood glucose concentrations) performed after 18 weeks of treatment in HFD group (white square, n = 6) and HFD plus casein injection mice (black triangle, n = 6). Results of each group were normalized by their initial blood glucose (before glucose stimulation). (D) Insulin tolerance tests performed at the end of experiments in C57BL/6J mice in HFD group (white square, n = 6) and HFD plus casein injection mice (black triangle, n = 6). Results of each group were normalized by their initial blood glucose (before insulin stimulation). Results represent the mean ± SD (n = 6). † P < 0.05 versus HFD.
