Genistein supplementation improved glycemic control and insulin levels, but did not affect insulin tolerance. Blood glucose was monitored every other week. Arrow points to the time when STZ injection was started (A). Glucose tolerance (B) and insulin tolerance (C) tests were performed as stated in the Materials and methods section. Plasma insulin levels (D) were measured with an ELISA kit. Data are means ± SE (n = 8 mice per group; groups that are identified by different letters are significantly different, p < 0.05). STD, standard diet; HF, high fat diet; STZ, streptozotocin; GE, genistein.
