Furthermore, none of the COD cows could be designated as being hyperandrogenic because none of them passed the level of 0.1 ng rml testosterone Table 2 Analysis revealed that ins peak concentrations and DMax in response to a standard glucose load, were significantly lower in COD cows, compared with their matched Ž.controls Ps0.04 for both ins peak and DMax . However, the differences in basal.insulin concentrations Ps0.51 , and AUC T60: Ps0.09; T120: Ps0.20 were not significantly different
