Fig. 2From: Praziquantel treatment after Schistosoma japonicum infection maintains hepatic insulin sensitivity and improves glucose metabolism in miceDynamic changes in blood glucose levels after PZQ or CMC treatment in Infection-Chemotherapy model mice. a Glucose tolerance test at 3, 6, 9 and 12Â weeks after PZQ or CMC treatment. b Insulin tolerance test at 3, 6, 9 and 12Â weeks after PZQ or CMC treatment. c Area under the curve of GTT. d Area under the curve of ITT. e Fasting blood glucose. f Serum insulin concentration. g Homeostasis model of assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Statistical comparisons are indicated as follows: * C57BL/6-inf-CMC group vs C57BL/6-con group; # C57BL/6-inf-PZQ group vs C57BL/6-con group; & C57BL/6-inf-PZQ group vs C57BL/6-inf-CMC group. *, # and & PÂ <Â 0.05; **, ## and && PÂ <Â 0.01Back to article page
