Effects of yacon flour on intestinal mRNA levels of proglucagon and PYY in HFD-fed rats. Proglucagon: Gcg (a) and polypeptide YY: Pyy (b) mRNA expression in intestinal samples of rats fed standard diet (SD) or high-fat diet (HFD) supplemented or not with yacon flour (680 mg FOS/kg body weight: HFD Y680) after  8 weeks of treatment. Data were normalized to Actin mRNA and expressed as fold change over the SD rats. Values are presented as mean ± standard deviation of triplicate PCR analysis (n=6/group). a p < 0.05 vs. SD, b p < 0.05 vs. HFD. SD: standard diet-fed rats; HFD: high-fat-diet-fed rats; HFD SD: high-fat-diet-fed rats reversed to a SD chow; HFD SY680: high-fat-diet-fed rats reversed to a SD chow and supplemented with yacon flour (680 mg FOS/kg b. w.).
