Boehmeria nivea Stimulates Glucose Uptake by Activating Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Gamma in C2C12 Cells and Improves Glucose Intolerance in Mice Fed a High-Fat Diet

Table 1

Effect of EBN on high-fat diet-induced body weight changes, serum cholesterol, and insulin.

	ND	HFD	EBN
Initial body weight (g)	20.3 ± 0.9	20.0 ± 1.1	20.1 ± 0.9
Final body weight (g)	28.8 ± 3.0	40.6 ± 3.8^a	35.7±4.6^b
Serum
Total cholesterol (mg/dL)	172 ± 14	209 ± 9^a	196 ± 9^b
Insulin (ng/mL)	0.331 ± 0.112	1.22 ± 0.21^a	0.812 ± 0.201^b

ND: normal diet; HFD: high-fat diet; EBN: high-fat diet plus 0.5% EBN. Data are expressed as mean ± SD (𝑛=10). Statistical significance: ^aP < 0.05 for the ND versus HFD; ^bP < 0.05 for the HFD versus HFD + 0.5% EBN.
