Abstract: Collection of blood from small laboratory animals is necessary for a wide range of scientific research and there are a number of efficient methods available for that. It is important that blood sample collection from experimental animals should be least stressful because stress will affect the outcome of the study. Various regulatory agencies and guidelines have restricted the use of animals and the techniques used for blood collection in laboratory animals. This article deals with the approved blood collection techniques for laboratory animals like rodents, lagomorphs and nonrodents. Permission of the Institute Animal Ethics Committee has been obtained for the use of animals for demonstrating the techniques.

TL;DR: Both models have shown elevated blood glucose level, fructose diet group has shown higher glucose level in comparison to fructose drinking water group, and the elevated glucose level may be because of fructose doesn’t stimulate the secretion of insulin from pancreas β cells and in hypertriglyceridemia there is a reduction in insulin sensitivity this may leads to the formation of hyperglycemia.
