Plasma insulin levels in Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) and lean ZDF rats treated with 125 or 250 mg/kg anthocyanin (ANC) or 1% carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) for 5 weeks. Plasma insulin levels at week 0 were significantly higher in the ZDF rats than in their lean littermates (P<0.001). The insulin secretion in the 250 mg/kg ANC-treated ZDF rats at week 5 was 27% higher than that in the CMC-treated ZDF rats. The results are shown as the mean ± standard deviation (n=3–5 rats/group). *P<0.001.
