Seaweed Supplementation Enhances Maximal Muscular Strength and Attenuates Resistance Exercise-Induced Oxidative Stress in Rats

Table 2

Effect of seaweed supplementation on glycemic control in rats. Fasting blood glucose and insulin levels were determined after 10-week treatment, and HOMA-IR was calculated. Values are expressed as mean ± SE ( = 10). Results are significant compared with control (p < 0.05) and seaweed (†p <0.05) groups.
