Blood glucose and insulin concentrations following the meal test, the i.v. glucose tolerance test, and the i.v. insulin challenge test. (A) Blood glucose and insulin concentrations before and after the morning meal on d 85, 97, and 110 of pregnancy; (B) Blood glucose and insulin concentrations before and after the i.v. glucose tolerance test on d 86, 98, and 111 of pregnancy; (C) Blood glucose and insulin concentrations before and after the i.v. insulin challenge test on d 86, 98, and 111 of pregnancy. LF sows fed a basal diet, HF sows fed with the basal diet added with extra 22.60 g/kg inulin and 181.60 g/kg cellulose. n = 6 per group. Values are mean ± standard error. The level of statistical significance was set by *P < 0.05 and and **P < 0.01, and +0.05 < P < 0.10 was considered a trend toward significance
