Figure 1

Effect of the exposure to CAPs, Ni, or CAPs+Ni on glucose homeostasis . A, Intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (IPGTT). B, The glucose area under the curve calculated from the glucose tolerance test from (A). C, Fasting insulin level. D, The homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index of insulin sensitivity. N = 5–6. ‡ P < 0.001 vs. FA, CAPs, or Ni group at each time; * P < 0.05 vs. FA; # P < 0.05 vs. CAPs, ^ P < 0.05 vs. Ni group. FA, filtered air; CAPs, concentrated ambient particles (particulate matter, less than 2.5 μ m in diameter); Ni, nickel.
