Hepatic glycogen and triglyceride levels and signaling pathways involved in glucose and lipid metabolism. Orchidectomized (ORX) rats consumed either 1% cellulose (ORX-control), 0.3% GEB (GEB-L), or 1% GEB (GEB-H) in a 43% fat diet for 8 weeks. Sham rats had 1% cellulose (normal-control). At the end of the experimental period, glycogen and triglyceride levels in the liver (a) and signaling pathways involved in glucose and lipid metabolism including hepatic insulin signaling (b) were measured. Each bar and error bar represents the mean ± SD (). of the bars with different superscripts were significantly different among groups in Tukey’s test at .
