BS improved insulin resistance and glucose tolerance in HFD-fed mice. (A) Serum glucose, (B) serum insulin, and (C) blood glucose levels over time during the intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (iPGTT); (D) homeo-static model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index, and (E) area under the curve calculation (AUC). Data are presented as mean ± SEM, n = 7. Means denoted by different letters (a, b, c) indicate significant differences between groups (p < 0.05). NCD, normal control diet; NCD-BS, normal control diet supplemented with freeze-dried powder of bamboo shoots; HFD, high-fat diet; HFD-BS, high-fat diet supplemented with freeze-dried powder of bamboo shoots.
