Pleurotus tuber-regium Polysaccharides Attenuate Hyperglycemia and Oxidative Stress in Experimental Diabetic Rats

Table 2

Effect of three different polysaccharides (1P, 2P, and 3P) on food intake and food conversion efficiency (FCE) in diabetic rats fed a high-fat diet (DHF).

GroupsAverage food intake (g/day)FCE ratio

DHF 2 8 . 2 8 ± 1 . 3 1 0 . 1 4 ± 0 . 1 3
DHF+1P 2 6 . 4 4 ± 1 . 6 6 0 . 1 7 ± 0 . 1 1
DHF+2P 2 8 . 1 1 ± 1 . 0 6 0 . 1 5 ± 0 . 1 2
DHF+3P 2 7 . 7 1 ± 1 . 1 3 0 . 1 5 ± 0 . 1 4

Values are expressed as mean ± SEM ( 𝑛 = 1 0 ). The food conversion efficiency (FCE) ratio = food intake (g)/weight gain (kg) × 102.
