  • * P < 0.05 vs. Fast.

  • P < 0.05 vs. Clamp/IL and Clamp/LA.

  • Clamp = hyperinsulinemic–euglycemic clamp; IL = Intralipid; LA = lactate; PH = phenylephrine. Values represent mean ± SD. Enrichment measurements could not be obtained in 4 different animals (1 from each group except Clamp/PH group).
