Assessment of insulin resistance: OGTT and euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp Data collected during the OGTT were used to calculate the Matsuda index to assess for the presence of insulin resistance before initiation of ω-3PUFA supplementation. Our calculations demonstrated for the Matsuda index to be ...
Various strains of rodents display different sensitivity towards estrogenic substances, which can make direct comparisons difficult (Kacew et al., 1995). The chosen rat strain (F344) is described as an estrogen-sensitive strain, which should increase the chance of picking up low-dose effects of ...
