Fig. 5From: Differential effects of plant-based flours on metabolic homeostasis and the gut microbiota in high-fat fed ratsAssessment of glucose homeostasis and gut peptides in flour supplemented rats. Blood glucose concentration and area under the curve (AUC) of an intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (IPGTT) in HFD-fed and WB and BF supplemented HFD-fed rats (n = 6–10 per group) (A). Blood glucose concentration and area under the curve of an ITT (n = 8–9 per group) (B). Portal vein active GLP-1 (n = 8–11 per group) (C) and PYY (n = 5–6 per group) (D) after a 5 h fast. Data presented as mean ± SEM; *indicate significance between WB and HFD, # indicate significance between BF and HFD, and $ indicate significance between WB and BF. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 wheat group from HFD, #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01 barley group from HFD, and $p < 0.05 wheat group from barley groupBack to article page
