An Experimental Approach for Selecting Appropriate Rodent Diets for Research Studies on Metabolic Disorders
Figure 4
Effect of NCD-I/buffer and HFD-I/STZ treatment on terminal insulin indices in albino Wistar rats. Terminal insulin indices in NCD-I/buffer and HFD-I/STZ treated albino Wistar rats after 6 weeks of induction. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM; . (a) Fasting serum glucose and insulin, (b) HOMA, and (c) QUICKI. versus NCD-I/buffer. NCD: normal control diet, HFD: high fat diet, STZ: streptozotocin, HOMA: homeostatic model assessment, QUICKI: quantitative insulin-sensitivity check index.
