ALA/SFC decreases the fasting plasma glucose levels and improves glucose tolerance. An OGTT was conducted 2–3 days after the 6‐week blood sampling. After the last ALA/SFC administration, ZDF rats were fasted overnight, after which the OGTT was performed. (A) Fasting plasma glucose levels. (B) Plasma glucose levels in the OGTT. C. Area under the curve (AUC) of glucose levels in the OGTT. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 vs the vehicle‐administered group (Tukey's test, n = 8).
