From: Dietary fibers inhibit obesity in mice, but host responses in the cecum and liver appear unrelated to fiber-specific changes in cecal bacterial taxonomic composition

Figure 2

Plasma leptin, insulin, resistin and PYY responses in mice fed a high fat diet (HFD), HFD where 10% of the carbohydrate by weight (5% corn starch, 5% cellulose) was replaced by beta glucan (HFD + bglucan), apple pectin (HFD + pectin), inulin (HFD + inulin), inulin acetate ester (HFD + inul A), inulin propionate ester (HFD + inul P), inulin butyrate ester (HFD + inul B), inulin propionate and butyrate ester, 5% each (HFD + inul PB) and low fat diet (LFD). Mean (A) Leptin, (B) Insulin, (C) Resistin (n = 5–7) and (D) PYY (n = 3–7). Significant (p < 0.05) differences assessed by ANOVA with Fisher’s correction are indicated using lower case letters to distinguish differences between the diets.
