Antihyperglycemic effects of green tea powder suspension in the fasting STZ-diabetic ddY mice. STZ-diabetic ddY mice were perorally administered with a suspension of green tea powder at 30, 150, and 300 mg/kg in the fasting state. Blood glucose levels 2 h after the administration of green tea are expressed as percentages of the glucose level 0 h before the administration in each mouse, and then averaged. Values represent the means ± S.E.M. (n = 6 – 20). **P < 0.01; significantly different from the blood glucose levels of STZ-diabetic mice administered with saline (control, 0 mg/kg of green tea), by one-way ANOVA, followed by Scheffé's test.
