In a chronic sleep deprivation experiment, young mice were sensitized to insulin and had improved control of their blood sugar, whereas aged animals became hyperglycemic and failed to maintain
appropriate plasma insulin concentrations.
Courville, A. B., Harel, O., and Lammi - Keefe, C. J. Consumption of a DHA - containing functional food during pregnancy is associated with lower infant ponderal index and
cord plasma insulin concentration.
Fasting plasma glucose and insulin concentrations were reduced to control concentrations, and
plasma insulin concentrations during the OGTT were significantly lower than those in the the rats fed fructose only at all time - points.
Relation of Habitual Diet to Fasting
Plasma Insulin Concentration and the Insulin Response to Oral Glucose, Human Nutrition Clinical Nutrition.
Plasma insulin concentrations were measured by using a radioimmunoassay (Abbott SpA, Latina, Italy).
