Abstract
Feeding a maize-based compared with a dried grass diet increased rates of glucose utilization in sheep, with no effect on the basal plasma insulin concentration or on the sensitivity or responsiveness to insulin. The increased utilization of glucose appeared to be non-insulin-mediated. Key words: Insulin, glucose, sheep, dietary starchKeywords
