Consistent with the observed insulin resistance the sucrose group showed increased circulating levels of both insulin (5.8 ± 0.1 to 40.3 ± 5.6 ng/mL, *** p < 0.001; Figure 1G) and c-peptide (3457 ± 788.2 to 6943 ± 922.6 pmol/L, * p < 0.05; Figure 1H), pointing a failure in insulin secretion and action. This evidence concerns the gene INS and Insulin resistance.
