  1. Statistical comparison between groups was made using a t-test, n = 6 each group, values are means ± SEM
  2. HOMA-IR: homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance; RBJ: red beetroot juice, variations of plasma glucose and insulin concentrations are presented as the area under the curve (AUC) during IPGTT in different experimental groups. Sampling for HOMA-IR was given in fasting
  3. ***P < 0.001, statistically significant differences between Control and RBJ in the outlined sites
