Effect of HFD and taurine supplementation on the AUC of the OGTT at days 0, 14, 28, and 35:

Day	Group
	Control	Taurine	Fructose-Fed	Fructose-Fed + Taurine
AUC day Zero	0.85 ± 0.011	0.84 ± 0.009	0.84 ± 0.009	0.83 ± 0.017
AUC day 14	0.83 ± 0.013	0.82 ± 0.008	0.90 ± 0.015a,b	0.87 ± 0.009b
AUC day 28	0.83 ± 0.014	0.81 ± 0.007	0.90 ± 0.014a,b	0.87 ± 0.017b
AUC day 35	0.84 ± 0.012	0.84 ± 0.010	0.92 ± 0.07a,b	0.88 ± 0.005b,c

Values are expressed as mean ± S.E.M. Number of rats per group n = 8.

HFD, high fructose diet; AUC, area under the curve; OGTT, oral glucose tolerance test.

(a) Significant difference from control group (P ≤ 0.05).

(b) Significant difference from taurine group (P ≤ 0.05).

(c) Significant difference from fructose-fed group (P ≤ 0.05).
