Effects of Pluchea indica leaf extract (PIE) on fasting blood glucose (A), area under the curve of blood glucose (B), serum insulin (C), homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index (D), and serum leptin (E) in high fat-high fructose diet (HFFD) rats. Data are presented as mean±SEM (n=6 per group). *P<0.05 when compared with the normal diet (ND) group and #P<0.05 when compared with the HFFD group. HFFD+PIE 100 or 300, HFFD rats+PIE 100 or 300 mg/kg/d; HFFD+PIO, HFFD rats+pioglitazone 10 mg/kg/d.
