Effects of yacon supplement and the reversion to a SD chow on HFD-induced metabolic disease. (a) Body weight. (b) Body weight gain. (c) Total fat weight. (d) Visceral fat pad weight. (e) Fasting triglyceride concentrations. (f) Time course of glycemia in response to oral glucose overload (2 g/kg body weight) at 8 weeks (insert: area under the curve of blood glucose following glucose overload). (g) Time course of glycemia following a single intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of insulin (0.75 U/kg b. w.) (insert: area under the curve of blood glucose following insulin injection). Data are mean ± standard deviation (n=6/group). a p < 0.05 vs. SD, b p < 0.05 vs. HFD, c p < 0.05 vs. HFD SD. 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.).
