Sleeve gastrectomy ameliorates endothelial function and prevents lung cancer by normalizing endothelin-1 axis in obese and diabetic rats

Figure 2 Comparisons of metabolic parameters among groups. A: Body weight; B: Food intake; C: Fasting glucose level; D: Area under the curve of oral glucose tolerance test; E: Fasting serum insulin level; F: Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance compared to sham-operated and control rats. ^aP < 0.05: Control vs sham; ^cP < 0.05: Control vs sleeve gastrectomy; ^eP < 0.05: Sham vs sleeve gastrectomy. AUC_OGTT: Area under the curve of oral glucose tolerance test; Homa-IR: Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance; SG: Sleeve gastrectomy.
