FIGURE 8.

Adipocytokines and glucose metabolism: Rats from the disease group (n = 8) and treatment groups (n = 6 to 8) were offered HFD permanently (ad libitum). (a) Serum adiponectin level (b) Serum leptin level (c) Serum TNF‐α level (d) Serum insulin concentration (e) Serum glucose level. Bonferroni adjustment for multiple comparisons reduced the significance level to * p < 0.0167, ** p < 0.00333, and *** p < 0.000333. Dose‐dependent effects were specified by Pearson's correlation coefficient ‘r’ and linear regression analysis by the coefficient of determination ‘R²’ with ⁺ p < 0.05, ⁺⁺ p < 0.01, and ⁺⁺⁺ p < 0.001
