Effect of TT supplementation on carbohydrate metabolism. Importance of compounds relative to flux through carbohydrate metabolism and biosynthetic pathways in mice given TT. A lower level of citrate (e) in mice given TT might indicate a higher flux of TCA to support better energy production and use, and lower macronutrient carbon to support fat deposition when a HFD is fed. Generally, figures (a–d) suggest lower formation of these anabolic pathway intermediates. Each dietary group was comprised of n = 10 mice.
