Glucose and Insulin tolerance tests. a Glucose tolerance was assessed by measuring blood glucose concentration following intraperitoneal glucose injection to fasted rats after 10 weeks of intervention. b Area under the glycaemic curve values from glucose tolerance test. c Insulin tolerance was assessed by measuring blood glucose concentration following intraperitoneal insulin injection to fasted rats after 10 weeks of intervention. d Area under the glycaemic curve values from insulin tolerance test. Data are means ± SEM of 10 animals per group. (*: P < 0.05 vs PS).
