A, B Histograms show bloodglucose (A) or plasmainsulin (B) levels of 6-h-fasted mice at the beginning (Week 0) and/or at the end of the protocol (Week 16). Fasting bloodglucose week 16: P (−/− versus +/+; HFD) = 0.0052; P (CTRL versus HFD; −/−) = 0.000081; P (NAC versus no NAC; −/− HFD) = 0.0019; P (w16 versus w0; +/+ CTRL) = 0.012; P (w16 versus w0; −/− CTRL) = 0.050; P (w16 versus w0; −/− HFD) = 0.0023. Fasting plasmainsulin: P (−/− versus +/+; HFD) = 0.043; P (CTRL versus HFD; +/+) = 0.028; P (CTRL versus HFD; −/−) = 0.013; P (CTRL versus HFD; +/+ NAC) = 0.011; P (CTRL versus HFD; −/− NAC) = 0.0015; P (NAC versus no NAC; −/− HFD) = 0.038.
