Table 4.

Fasting serum levels of glucose, insulin, and HOMA-IR in the mice fed the experimental diets for 12 weeks.

Diet group LF HF LP
Fasting serum insulin (µU/ml) 10.3 ± 3.7a 29.0 ± 13.1b 9.9 ± 5.1a
Fasting serum glucose (mg/dl) 120.4 ± 14.6a 189.4 ± 22.2b 139.8 ± 11.7a
HOMA-IR 3.1 ± 1.23a 14.1 ± 7.54b 3.5 ± 1.90a

HOMA-IR was calculated as described in Materials and Methods. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD. n = 6 in each group. Values with different superscripts are significantly different, p<0.05.
