Glucose tolerance tests were used to select two lines of Coopworth rams. Line 1 animals had high T-Half values and low glucose tolerance while Line 2 animals had low T-Half values and high glucose tolerance. Thus, it was determined from these initial experiments that the Line 2 animals were more capable of removing a load of glucose than the Line 1 animals. Four animals which were extreme in glucose tolerance in each line were further characterised for differences in insulin sensitivity using...
