Mice were treated with LF or HF diet for 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks, and FBG, TAG, CHOL, INS, HOMA-IR and KITT were determined. HF: high-fat diet group; LF: low-fat diet group. The interactions between week and group were cholesterol (CHOL; F=5.485, p<0.05), fasting blood glucose (FBG; F=0.088, p>0.05), homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR; F=28.025, p<0.01), insulin (INS; F=46.773, p<0.01), the slope of insulin tolerance test (KITT; 0-15 min; F=3.157, p<0.05) and triglyceride (TAG; F=4.579, p<0.05). Analyses were performed by two-way ANOVA, followed by a post-hoc Bonferroni test to determine individual differences among groups. Values are presented as mean ± SEM, n=10, *p<0.05 and **p<0.01 compared to the corresponding LF group.
