Insulin sensitivity and acute insulin response.Insulin sensitivity (SI; A) and acute insulin response to glucose (AIRg; B) at the three different sample points: 1) immediately prior to diet initiation (white bars), 2) immediately prior to breeding (gray bars) and 3) at mid-gestation (black bars) for a subset of control (C, n = 4), overweight (OW125, n = 4) and obese (OB150, n = 4) ewes. There was an overall effect of time point on SI (P = 0.04) and an overall trend for treatment effect on AIRg (P = 0.06).
