Figure 1

Effect of yacon diet on insulin sensitivity during euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp studies in male Zucker fa/fa rats. (a) Data represent the basal HGO in rat fed with control (□; n=8) or yacon (▪; n=8) for 5 weeks. (b) Data represent the GDR during euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp studies in rat fed with control (□; n=8) or yacon (▪; n=8) for 5 weeks. (c) Data represent the suppression of HGO during euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp studies in rat fed with control (□; n=8) or yacon (▪; n=8) for 5 weeks. Values are means±s.e.m. of data obtained from the analysis of the rats fed with control or yacon. *: P<0.01; **: P<0.05 vs control rats.
