Relationship between plasma insulin and glucose levels. Circles and squares represent WT and db mice, respectively. Open symbols represent ad libitum-fed mice under the sedentary condition. Hatched symbols represent pair-fed db mice under the sedentary condition. Closed symbols represent exercising mice under the pair-fed condition (food amount consumed by ad libitum-fed WT mice was supplied). The values are the mean ± SE. Values were analyzed by Student’s t test. For comparison of glucose and insulin between the groups, alphabetical and Greek letters are used for statistical significance, respectively. For glucose concentration; a P < 0.05 vs. WT mice in each physical condition. b P < 0.05 vs. ad-WT or PSe-db mice. c P < 0.05 vs. ad-db mice. For insulin concentration; α P < 0.05 vs. WT mice in each physical condition. β P < 0.05 vs. ad-WT or PSe-db mice. γ P < 0.05 vs. ad-db mice
