Walnut oil-derived PUFA effectively improves glucose and insulin tolerance in pregnant rats with diabetes. Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and intraperitoneal insulin tolerance test (IPTT) were carried out on gestation day (GD) 17. Effect of PUFA on glucose tolerance (a, b) and insulin tolerance (c, d) on GD 17 in pregnant rats with diabetes. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD (n = 8/group). #P < 0.01 (vs the PC group), **P < 0.01 (vs the GDM group), *P < 0.05 (vs the GDM group)
