BACKGROUND: Physiologic stress has been demonstrated to impair glucose tolerance. METHODS: Glucose tolerance tests were performed using six cynomolgus monkeys. RESULTS: Chair-restrained subjects elicited higher elevations of plasma glucose and cortisol compared with squeezing device-restrained subjects. CONCLUSIONS: The responses to a glucose challenge are altered by different restraint procedures.
