Deepure Tea Improves High Fat Diet-Induced Insulin Resistance and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Figure 1

Deepure tea restored plasma level of insulin and improved insulin resistance in high fat diet mice. Plasma parameters were measured in the fasting state of the mice. (a) The body weight in different groups. (b)-(c) Plasma TG and TC level in different groups. (d) Plasma glucose level in different groups at baseline. (e) Plasma insulin level in different groups at baseline. (f) Insulin resistance of mice evaluated by homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) index. (g) Intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (IPGTT). (h) Plasma glucose concentration tested 120 min after glucose administration. The number of animals included was 10 (control group), 9 (HFD group), and 8 (Deepure tea group), respectively. All experiments were performed in triplicate. Data are means ± SEM. , , and versus control mice; ^† and ^†† and ^††† versus HFD mice.
