Effects of butyric acid on blood glucose, insulin, and IL-6 levels in diabetic mice. Diabetic mice were injected with water (H₂O; open square/bar) or butyric acid (BA; solid square/bar) once a day for a week. (a) Fasting blood glucose was quantified daily. After 7 days, fasting blood was collected for (b) insulin and (c) IL-6 detection by ELISA. Diabetic mice were given a single dose of GLPG-0974, an Ffar2 antagonist, with water or butyric acid for 24 h via IP injections. 0.1% DMSO in saline was used as vehicle control. Fasting blood was collected for detection of (d) glucose, (e) insulin and (f) IL-6 detection two weeks after treatments. Data are the mean ± SD from 3 independent experiments with 4 mice per group. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001 vs water treatment.
