Effects of the 5PAA and low Arg diets on blood glucose and insulin levels after glucose loading. Six-week-old male Wistar rats were fed the 15PAA (n = 8), low Arg (n = 8), and 5PAA (n = 8) diets, and then OGTTs were performed on d 12 after initiation of the experimental diets. Plasma glucose (a) and insulin (b) concentrations are shown. The values are the means ± standard errors. Asterisks indicate significant differences as assessed by one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni and Tukey–Kramer post-hoc tests (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01)
