“…Mice were divided into 8 groups (n = 3-4 per group) which were given increasing ip doses of insulin: (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, or 10.0 U/kg). Blood samples were collected from the tail at 0, 30, 60, 90, and 120 min after insulin injection, as previously described (Marques et al, 2016). Glycemia (mmol/L) was evaluated with a home glucometer (Optium Xceed®, Abbott Laboratories, Chicago, IL, USA), which is known to show good accuracy compared with the gold standard method used to measure plasma glucose (Robinson, Sharp, 2012).…”
