Values are expressed as mean ± S.D. of eight mice. GT, Green tea aqueous lyophilized extracts; fGT, Aquilariae Lignum-fermented green tea aqueous lyophilized extracts; metformin was administrated at a dose level of 250 mg/kg; ^a p < 0.01 and ^b p < 0.05 as compared with intact control by LSD test; ^c p < 0.01 and ^d p < 0.05 as compared with db control by LSD test; ^e p < 0.01 as compared with GT 400 mg/kg by LSD test; ^f p < 0.01 as compared with intact control by MW test; ^g p < 0.01 as compared with db control by MW test; ^h p < 0.01 as compared with GT 400 mg/kg by MW test.
