Figure 3

Effects of mare obesity and diet supplementation on follicular fluid insulin and lipid concentrations. Concentration of insulin and different lipid species in follicular fluid obtained from preovulatory follicles of normal-weight (NW, n = 6), obese (OB, n = 7) and obese diet supplemented (OBD, n = 6) mares after ≥ 6 weeks of supplementation: (a) insulin , (b) triglycerides, and (c) non-esterified fatty acids. Graphs represent mean ± SEM. Different superscripts indicate difference (P < 0.05) among groups using one-way ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey’s multiple comparison tests.
