Hepatic insulin signaling. Control, OVX rats fed a high-fat diet (HFD) with 1% dextrin; CFM, OVX rats fed an HFD with 1% lyophilized cauliflower mushroom; LFE, OVX rats fed an HFD with 0.1% L. fermentum plus 1% dextrin; CFLF, OVX rats fed an HFD with 1% CFM plus 0.1% L. fermentum; positive-control, OVX rats fed an HFD with 1% dextrin plus 30 μg/kg body weight 17β-estradiol. Hepatic insulin signaling was determined by immunoblotting assays. Each bar represents the mean ± SD (n = 4). Different letters represent a significant difference in Tukey test at p < 0.05
