Fig. 2From: Inulin reduces visceral adipose tissue mass and improves glucose tolerance through altering gut metabolitesEffects of inulin on respiratory quotient, and energy expenditure in mice. A O2 consumption (VO2) and CO2 production (VCO2). B Energy expenditure during light and dark cycles. C Respiratory quotient, and energy expenditure. Light and dark cycles are indicated with white and gray backgrounds, respectively. Data are expressed as means ± SEM. *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001. Control: n = 4; Inulin group: n = 4Back to article page
