Effects of finely ground wheat bran on plasma glucose, insulin, GLP-1, ghrelin and PYY at different times in sows. (A) Plasma glucose concentrations at different time points. (B) Plasma insulin concentrations at different time points. (C) Plasma GLP-1 concentrations at different time points. (D) Plasma ghrelin concentrations at different time points. (E) Plasma PYY concentrations at different times points. The x-axis represents minutes after a meal. ∗ Denotes a significant difference (P < 0.01) from the CON group; # denotes a significant difference (P < 0.01) from the CWB group; n = 6. CON = a corn soybean meal diet; CWB = diet contained coarse wheat bran with particle size of 605 μm; FWB = diet contained fine wheat bran with particle size of 438 μm; GLP-1 = glucagon-like peptide-1; PYY = peptide tyrosine.
