Figure 2: Effects of CK or Rh1 alone or in combination on insulin resistance in HFD-fed rats.
From: Ameliorative effects of Compound K and ginsenoside Rh1 on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in rats
(a) Blood glucose levels during GTT. (b) Insulin resistance index values between 0 and 120 min of GTT. Insulin resistance index = [fasting glucose (mmol/L) × fasting insulin (μU/ml)]/22.5. Control, normal diet alone; HFD, high fat diet alone; RSG, Rosiglitazone plus high fat diet; P, phospholipid plus high fat diet; PNS + P, the combination of panax notoginseng saponins and phospholipid plus high fat diet; CK + P, the combination of compand K and phospholipid plus high fat diet; Rh1 + P, the combination of Rh1 and phospholipid plus high fat diet; CK + Rh1 + P, the combination of CK, Rh1 and phospholipid plus high fat diet. n = 20. aP < 0.05 versus control group, bP < 0.05 versus HFD group, cP < 0.05 versus phospholipid group, dP < 0.05 versus PNS group.
