Effect of long-term EGCG treatment on blood glucose,
plasma insulin, and HOMA-IR index. In Expt. 2, HF mice had
higher blood glucose compared with LF mice by wk 3 of
treatment (P , 0.05. Fig. 1E). By wk 10, HFE mice had lower
blood glucose than HF mice (25% decrease; Fig. 1E) and this
trend was significant over the 16-wk treatment period.
