Dual probiotic strains suppress high fructose-induced metabolic syndrome

Figure 3 Effects of probiotic treatment on plasma glucose, plasma insulin, insulin resistance, plasma C-peptide and plasma thiobarbituric acid-reacting substances in high-fructose diet-fed rats. Results are expressed as mean ± SE. ^aP < 0.05 and ^bP < 0.01 HF control vs chow control by unpaired Student’s t-test; ^cP < 0.05 and ^dP < 0.01 week 6 vs week 3 by paired Student’s t-test; ^ABBars with different capital letters are significantly different at P < 0.05 by Duncan’s multiple range tests. HF: High fructose diet; LP: Low dose probiotic; HP: High dose probiotic; TBARS: Thiobarbituric acid-reacting substances.
