Figure 1. Plasma glucose and insulin values from control Watanabe heritable hyperlipidemic and control New Zealand white rabbits sampled during intravenous glucose tolerance tests. (A and B) Intravenous glucose tolerance tests results at 3 months of age. (C and D) Results from the same animals at 7 months of age.

Figure 2. Plasma glucose and insulin values from 3 groups of Watanabe heritable hyperlipidemic rabbits (exercise, diet, control) sampled during intravenous glucose tolerance tests. (A and B) Intravenous glucose tolerance test results at 3 months of age (preintervention). (C and D) Values from the same animals at 7 months of age (postintervention).
