Evaluation of glucose and insulin metabolism by IVGTT and IVITT. Rabbits at 4 weeks after HFFD feeding were intravenously injected with either glucose (left) or insulin (right) as described in the Methods. The changes in plasma glucose levels (top left and right) and insulin levels (bottom left) were determined. Insulin resistance index (IR-index) was calculated [19]. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD. n = 6 for each group. **P < 0.01 or *P < 0.05 vs. the control group
