Figure 4From: Meju, unsalted soybeans fermented with Bacillus subtilis and Aspergilus oryzae, potentiates insulinotropic actions and improves hepatic insulin sensitivity in diabetic ratsInsulin secretion capacity during hyperglycemic clamp. At the end of the experimental periods, hyperglycemic clamp was performed on Px rats fed diets containing 10% cooked soybeans (CSB), meju made in the traditional (TMS) or standardized (MMS) manner, or casein (control). During hyperglycemic clamp, serum insulin levels were measured in free-moving and overnight-fasted diabetic rats as serum glucose levels at 5.5 mM above fasting levels were maintained. The sample size in each group was the same as in Table4. *Significantly different among groups of Px rats at P < 0.05.Back to article page
