Changes in gastrointestinal hormone, adipocytokines among three groups. Serum levels of (A) Insulin, (B) HOMA-IR, (C) GLP-1, (D) Ghrelin, (E) Adiponectin, (F) Leptin, (G) FGF-21, (H) FGF-19, (I) PTP1B, (J) LECT2, (K) SOCS3 and (L) ANGPTL2 were measured by ELISA. Data are expressed as mean ± SD, control group n = 5, HFD sham group n = 5, HFD SG group n = 9, ^*P<0.05, ^**P<0.01 vs. Control group; ^#P<0.05, ^##P<0.01 vs. HFD sham group. GLP-1: Glucagon-like peptide-1; FGF: Fibroblast growth factor; PTP1B: Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B; LECT2: Leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin 2; SOCS3: Suppressor of cytokine signalling-3; ANGPTL2: Angiopoietin-like protein 2
