Green tea ameliorated abnormalities in plasma lipid concentrations in STZ-induced T1DM rats.

	Normal		STZ
Contents	Water	Green Tea	Water	Green Tea
Triacylglycerol (mg/dL)	27.3 ± 1.61 a	29.9 ± 1.95 a	38.8 ± 2.08 b	27.6 ± 0.97 a
Total cholesterol (mg/dL)	56.2 ± 3.80	54.0 ± 5.05	56.1 ± 4.44	54.1 ± 3.98
NEFAs (meq/dL)	0.38 ± 0.02 a	0.42 ± 0.06 a	1.33 ± 0.05 b	0.88 ± 0.07 c

Rats were treated as shown in Figure 1A, and the concentrations of plasma lipids were measured using the corresponding commercial test kits. Data are expressed as the means ± SE (n = 5). Values sharing the same letters were not significantly different (Tukey–Kramer multiple comparison test; p < 0.05). NEFAs: non-esterified fatty acids.
