Effect of the presence of butyrate in the diet on the kinetic of in vivo liver glycogen repletion after isoglucidic or isocaloric force-feedings of re-fed rats. m ± SEM. n varied from 6 to 12 for each delay. *P = 0.01 (t-test) at the 7^th hour, diet A (glucose 14.0) versus diet C (glucose 14.0 + butyrate 1.90), # P = 0.003 at the 8^th hour, diet A (glucose 14.0) versus diet C (glucose 14.0 + butyrate 1.90) and ## P = 0.03 at the 8^th hour, diet B (glucose 18.2) versus diet C (glucose 14.0 + butyrate 1.90). Diets are expressed in mg/g body weight.
