Jun 11, 2021 · The two most common tests for determining metabolic health in mice are the glucose tolerance test (GTT) and insulin tolerance test (ITT).

In this review, we describe the central principles of the metabolic tests available in order to study glucose and insulin homeostasis in mice, focusing on the most widely used – the glucose and …

The Insulin Tolerance Test (ITT) is designed to determine the whole body sensitivity of insulin receptors by measuring blood glucose levels changes before and after insulin administration. …
