Figure 2

LECS exhibits antihyperglycemic effects and improves glucose and insulin tolerance of ob/ob mice. Effects of LECS on fasting blood glucose (a), plasma glucose (b), insulin (c), glucose (d), and insulin (e) tolerance, after intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration either of D-glucose (1.0 g/kg) or insulin (0.75 UI/kg). The results are expressed as (; ^#, ^##, and ^### vs. control; , , and vs. control+LECS; , , and vs. control+LECS; ^§, ^§§, and ^§§§ vs. obese).
