Mice were fasted for 4 h with access to water. Glucose levels were measured using a standard glucometer in a drop of blood from the tail, cut at the top. The measurements were taken before and after 15, 30, 45, 60 and 120 min of intraperitoneal glucose administration (2 g/kg b.w.). For quantification, area under the blood glucose concentration–time curve (AUC) was calculated.
