Whole sorghum flour improves glucose tolerance, insulin resistance and preserved pancreatic islets function in obesity diet-induced rats

The effects of sorghum flour fractions (whole and decorticated flours and bran) were evaluated for oxidative stress and obesity parameters in diet-induced obese rats. Compared to high fat-fructose groups, sorghum flour fractions reduced liver fat and whole sorghum flour decreased fasting glucose, im...
