Moringa diminished animal, liver and epididymal fat weight and maintained insulin sensitivity in animals feed with HF diet. (A) Representative photographs of mice, liver and epididymal fat. (B) Graphs of animal, liver and epididymal fat weight showed a reduction in MO group (p < 0.05). (C) ITT demonstrated a significant improvement in insulin sensitivity in MO group compared to HF animals (p < 0.05). (D) Serum glucose levels at sacrifice were similar in MO and HF groups. (E) HOMA-IR showed insulin resistance in present only in HF animals (p < 0.05). Data are expressed as mean ± SE. * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001.
