Table 2.

Effect of three different polysaccharides (1P, 2P, and 3P) on food intake and food conversion efficiency (FCE) in diabetic rats fed a high-fat diet (DHF).

Groups Average food intake (g/day) FCE ratio
DHF 28.28 ± 1.31 0.14 ± 0.13
DHF+1P 26.44 ± 1.66 0.17 ± 0.11
DHF+2P 28.11 ± 1.06 0.15 ± 0.12
DHF+3P 27.71 ± 1.13 0.15 ± 0.14

Values are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 10). The food conversion efficiency (FCE) ratio = food intake (g)/weight gain (kg) × 102.
