Fig. 3From: Acute hyperglycemia suppresses left ventricular diastolic function and inhibits autophagic flux in mice under prohypertrophic stimulationInsulin resistance appears in mice with TAC for 2 weeks. a Plasma glucose concentrations in response to an intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (IGTT, after fasting for 14 h, glucose 2 g/kg, ip). The insert shows fasting glucose levels. b Time course of plasma glucose concentrations after insulin injection. c Linear correlation between HOMA-IR and heart weight to body weight ratio (HW/BW) in the TAC and sham mice groups. *P < 0.05 versus the corresponding sham group, n = 16 and 12 in the sham and TAC groups, respectively, (panels a, b); n = 24 for panel c Back to article page
