Maternal Diet Supplementation with n-6/n-3 Essential Fatty Acids in a 1.2 : 1.0 Ratio Attenuates Metabolic Dysfunction in MSG-Induced Obese Mice

Figure 2

Effect of maternal flaxseed supplementation on offspring’s glycemia during the intraperitoneal glucose (a) or insulin (b) tolerance tests. The symbols represent the mean ± SEM of 5 different litters () from each experimental group. The inset on each bar represents the area under the curve (AUC) from glycemia during the glucose tolerance test and obtained from the insulin tolerance test, respectively. Symbol over the bar represents the significant differences among the groups based on one-way ANOVA, where depicts statistical difference with among all groups and depicts statistical difference compared to MSG-Com group.
