Effect of HFD on insulin sensitivity. A, Fasting blood glucose levels measured with glucometer, and fasting plasma levels of insulin measured by Luminex assay. a, P = .0015; b, P < .0001. B, QUICKI index values. a, P = .0022. C, HOMA2 index values: insulin resistance (HOMA‐IR), β‐cell function (HOMA‐%B), and insulin sensitivity (HOMA‐%S). a, P = .0003; b, P = .0189. Abbreviations: RD, regular diet; HFD, high‐fat diet; QUICKI, quantitative insulin sensitivity check index; HOMA, homeostatic model assessment; IR, insulin resistance; %B, percent β‐cells; %S, percent sensitivity
