Electroacupuncture: A Feasible Sirt1 Promoter Which Modulates Metainflammation in Diet-Induced Obesity Rats

Figure 4

Effects of high-fat diet and EA on IPIT and IPGT. (a) In IPIT, the blood glucose concentration of rats in the Obesity, EA, and Resveratrol group at 30, 60, 90, and 120 min was higher than that observed in the normal rats, P<0.001, P<0.01, and P<0.05 versus Normal group. When compared with Obesity group, the insulin sensitivity was corrected in EA or Resveratrol group, ###P<0.001, ##P<0.01, and #P<0.01 versus Obesity group. (b) Similarly, glucose levels in rats from the Obesity, EA, and Resveratrol group were higher when compared with the Normal group following the IPGT test, P<0.001 versus Normal group. When compared Obesity group, the insulin sensitivity was corrected in EA or Resveratrol group, ###P<0.001 versus Obesity group.
