Compromised glucose metabolism in a subset of rabbits with cystic fibrosis (CF)

Caption

(A) Fasting blood glucose and insulin levels in rabbits with CF (n=10) and wild-type (WT) (n=10) rabbits. Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels in rabbits with CF (n=6) and WT (n=6) rabbits (B) Intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) curves and corresponding areas under the curve (AUCs) for rabbits with CF (n=10) and WT (n=10) rabbits. (C) IVGTT curves and corresponding AUCs of rabbits with CF with signs of indeterminate glucose tolerance (INDET) (n=4) compared with rabbits with CF without signs of INDET (n=6). (D) IVGTT curves and corresponding AUCs of female rabbits with CF (n=6) and male rabbits with CF (n=4). ns, not significant.
