Green Tea Attenuates Oxidative Stress and Downregulates the Expression of Angiotensin II AT<sub>1</sub> Receptor in Renal and Hepatic Tissues of Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats

<table>Effect of green tea on change in body weight in diabetic rats. Weights were taken for normal control rats, STZ-induced diabetic rats (diabetic control), and 0.1% green-tea-treated STZ-induced diabetic rats (diabetic + green tea). The animals were weighed before STZ injection (Before STZ), 1 week after STZ injection (after STZ), and at weeks 4 and 8 of the experiment. Weights are plotted as percentiles with the starting, weights all standardized to 100%. <sup>a</sup>Significantly different from normal control. <sup>b</sup>Significantly different from diabetic control. <sup>c</sup>No significant difference from diabetic control.</table>
