From: Fish oil rich diet in comparison to saturated fat rich diet offered protection against lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation and insulin resistance in mice

Figure 2

Effect of fish oil (FO)and saturated fat (SF) diets on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced body weight (A), overnight fasting (B), plasma glucose (C), and blood glucose drop (D). Body weight loss (A) calculation was based on weight changes between body weight at the end of 60 day period and body weight at the end of 7 day recovery post 100 ng LPS challenge (n = 6). Overnight fasting (12 h) blood glucose concentrations of mice fed FO and SF diets at the end of 60 day are shown in B (n = 10). Blood glucose (C) and blood glucose drop (D) for mice that received FO and SF diets before and after LPS-challenge (n = 5-9). Blood glucose drop was calculated based on blood glucose between pre- and post-100 ng LPS-challenge (n = 5). Significant differences were tested either with unpaired/paired t-test or with Man-Whitney U test/Wicoxin Sign test. Values are means ± SE. Only significant comparisons are presented.
