One week before the end of the 4-week diet enriched with ABA or not (control), mice were fasted for 17 h before the OGTT, then 1 g/kg BW glucose was administered by gavage in 150 μL water. Blood was drawn from the tail vein before gavage (time zero) and 15, 30, 60, and 120 min after gavage: glycemia was immediately measured with a glucometer (Ascensia, Milan, Italy). Each measure was performed in duplicate.
