Insoluble Fiber in Young Barley Leaf Suppresses the Increment of Postprandial Blood Glucose Level by Increasing the Digesta Viscosity

Figure 2

Oral sucrose tolerance test for dose finding of BLP. The delta blood glucose levels in rats at 0–120 minutes after oral administration of 2,000 mg/kg of sucrose with no BLP (control), 500 mg/kg, and 1,500 mg/kg of BLP were measured. Each data point represents mean ± SEM (𝑛=6). A significant interaction was found between the effect of dose and time after administration (𝑃<0.01, 2-way ANOVA). Delta blood glucose levels without a common letter differ (𝑃<0.05, multiple comparisons).
