IL7 and Insulin resistance: Interestingly, IL-7 administration to MSG-treated mice (M-7) alleviated the state of insulin-resistance associated with MSG-treatment (M-P) (with p<0.001 at t = 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes), despite being ineffective in restoring the basal reactivity to insulin (with p<0.05 at t = 60 between M-7 and P-P).
