Figure 2

Effect of PS-HOSO on plasma insulin levels versus blood glucose levels of phase C gerbils. Psammomys obesus were fed with control (closed squares) or PS-HOSO (open squares) as described in the method section. Following 4.5 weeks of experimental diet feeding, the correlation between plasma insulin and blood glucose levels was tested. There was no correlation between plasma insulin and blood glucose levels among PS-HOSO fed animals (r = 0.318; n = 19; P = 0.185), nor among control fed animals (r = 0.17; n = 22; P = 0.448). PS-HOSO: plant sterol esterified with high oleic sunflower oil.
