Improvement of Liquid Fructose-Induced Adipose Tissue Insulin Resistance by Ginger Treatment in Rats Is Associated with Suppression of Adipose Macrophage-Related Proinflammatory Cytokines
Figure 3
Plasma glucose (a) and insulin (b) concentrations at the baseline (fasted) and HOMA-IR index (c) in water-control and fructose-pair-fed rats. The fructose-control rats had free access to 10% fructose in their drinking water, while the consumption of fructose in the ginger-(20 or 50 mg/kg) treated (by gavage daily) rats was adjusted to that of the fructose-control rats. The variables were determined at the end of week 4. Data are means ± SEM ( each group). *.
