Effects of PEW on lipid concentration, glucose tolerance, and insulin resistance (n = 5 for each group). a-d TG (triacylglycerol), CHO (cholesterol), HDL-C (high density lipoprotein cholesterol), and LDL-C (low density lipoprotein cholesterol) levels in NCD, HFD, and HFD + PEW groups; e-g Fasting blood glucose, fasting serum insulin and HOMA-IR, calculated according to the formula: HOMA-IR = insulin×glucose/22.5. h-i Blood glucose versus time after intraperitoneal injection of D-glucose or insulin. The calculated AUC (inset) are also shown. Data are presented as means±SD, and analyzed using the one-way ANOVA test with Tukey method. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 compared with NCD; #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01, ###P < 0.001 compared with HFD
