Two hours after the PIR model, A GTT, C ITT and E PTT were performed (n = 8). B GTT area under curve (AUC), D ITT AUC and F PTT AUC were calculated using GraphPad Prism 7.0 (n = 8). Data are shown as mean ± SEM. **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001. BCAA: branched-chain amino acids, CON: controlBack to article page
