Insulin and glycogen concentrations1 in mice fed with high fat diet supplemented with rice bran and phytic acid
Dietary group2 | Insulin (ng/mL) | Glycogen (mg/g liver) |
---|---|---|
NC | 1.58 ± 0.01a | 2.55 ± 0.16a |
HF | 1.45 ± 0.01a | 3.14 ± 0.21a |
HF-RB | 1.87 ± 0.02a | 3.91 ± 1.33ab |
HF-PA | 2.41 ± 0.04a | 5.77 ± 0.92b |
1 Values are means ± SE (n = 8). Means in the same column not sharing a common superscript are significantly different at p<0.05, which pertains to the “a and b”, in the table. 2 NC, normal diet; HF, high fat diet; HF-RB, high fat diet + rice bran; HF-PA, high fat diet + phytic acid.
