<p>At the end of 8 weeks, TC <b>(A)</b>, TG <b>(B)</b>, fasting blood glucose <b>(C)</b> and insulin <b>(D)</b> were measured. The calculated insulin sensitivity index <b>(E)</b> and HOMA-IR index <b>(F)</b> are displayed. ITT: Blood samples were collected from tail veins for glucose measurement at 0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 min after insulin injection (ii) <b>(G)</b>. The calculated AUC is depicted <b>(H)</b>. Data are presented as the means ± SEM. *<i>P</i><0.05, **<i>P</i><0.01, ***<i>P</i><0.001 compared to normal control; #<i>P</i><0.05, ##<i>P</i><0.01, ###<i>P</i><0.001 compared to the HFD model group, n = 8.
