Effect of diet on plasma glucose, insulin and triglyceride levels in rats at dissection. Rats were feed-deprived for 16–19 h; half of the rats were then given an oral load of 50% glucose. Plasma samples were obtained from anesthetized animals either in the feed-deprived state or 3 h post glucose. Values are means ± SEM. Labeled means for a given diet group for a particular condition (feed-deprived or post-glucose) without a common letter differ, p < 0.05. * Different from Feed Deprived, p< 0.05. LF, lower-fat; HF1, high-fat Phase 1; HF2, high-fat Phase 2; VLC, very low-carbohydrate; LC, low-carbohydrate; HC, high-carbohydrate; VC3, switched from VLC to HC 3 days; VC7, switched from VLC to HC 7 days
