INS and Hyperglycemia: Insulinemia values were not significantly different between ABA-treated and ABA-untreated mice, mean values were 0.22 ± 0.08 and 0.20 ± 0.09 μg/L, respectively, and were approx. 20 times lower than peak insulin levels in STZ-untreated WT mice undergoing a 1 g/Kg BW glucose load to induce transient hyperglycemia.
