Article Title: Physical activity enhances fecal lactobacilli in rats chronically drinking sweetened cola beverage
doi: 10.1515/biol-2022-0070
Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of SPA on insulin, adiponectin, and ghrelin levels in plasma of controls and cola SSB drinking rats. CON = control group, SSB = group drinking sugar sweetened beverage, SSB + SPA = group drinking sugar sweetened beverage concomitant to spontaneous physical activity, SPA = group performing spontaneous physical activity. Average ± SEM. n = 8 per group; * p < 0.05 vs SSB, # p < 0.05 vs CON.
Article Snippet: To measure and analyze adiponectin (as an adipose tissue-related indicator of metabolic changes), insulin (as a pancreas-related indicator of metabolic changes), and ghrelin (as a gastrointestinal tract-related indicator of appetite), commercially available kits for ELISA were used (Rat Ghrelin ELISA Kit, Elabscience, USA; Rat Adiponectin ELISA Kit, Abcam, UK; and Rat Insulin ELISA Kit, Mercodia, Sweden, respectively).
