Effect of pretreatment with EGCG on postprandial blood glucose (A) and small intestinal expression of GLUT-2 and SGLT-1 (B) in mice. Mice were pretreated with saline or EGCG (100 mg/kg/day, i.g.) for 4 days. On day 5, all mice were treated with a single dose of glucose. Blood glucose measurements were taken and then mice were sacrificed and small intestinal tissue was harvested. GLUT-2 and SGLT-1 levels were determined by Western Blot. Results are shown as means ± SEM (n = 6).
