Single-term oral glucose tolerance tests (a) of Nopal dry powder (NPDP) and water extract (NPWE) after 12 h food deprivation in SD rats fed a high-fat diet. (b) Area under the blood glucose concentration curve was measured over 180 min (AUC-180 min). Values are expressed as the mean ± SE (n = 10). Different letters in the same time (a) show statistically significant differences, P < 0.05. ∗∗∗P < 0.001 versus Control.
