PC improved glucose tolerance and insulin resistance in obese female mice. (A) Experimental design. The mice in the CTRL group were fed a normal diet (blue) and had intragastric administrations of saline (gray). Mice in the HFD group were fed a high-fat diet (red) and had intragastric administrations of saline (gray). The mice in the HFD + PC group were fed a high-fat diet (red) and had intragastric administrations of PC (yellow). (B) Image of mice at the age of 18 weeks. (C) Weight changes in mice (4–18 weeks of age). (D) Average food consumption (12–18 weeks of age). (E) Blood glucose changes in GTT. (F) GTT AUC values. (G) Blood glucose changes in ITT. (H) ITT AUC values. Data are expressed as mean ± SD and were compared by one-way ANOVA and Newman–Keuls post hoc tests. In (E,G), the different letters at the same time point near the error bars indicate statistical significance (p < 0.05). The number of mice in each group is shown in parentheses.
