Improvement of Liquid Fructose-Induced Adipose Tissue Insulin Resistance by Ginger Treatment in Rats Is Associated with Suppression of Adipose Macrophage-Related Proinflammatory Cytokines

Plasma concentrations of glucose (a) and insulin (c) and their area under curve (AUC)s ((b) and (d)) during oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT, glucose: 2 g/kg) assessment 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 and/or 50 mg/kg) treated (by gavage daily) rats was adjusted to that of the fructose-control rats. OGTT was performed at the end of week 4. Data are means ± SEM ( each group). *.
