Article Synopsis
- Black tea (BT) and selenium-enriched black tea (Se-BT) show promising hypoglycemic effects and mechanisms through a study on mice with diabetes induced by a high-fat diet and streptozotocin (STZ).
- Both types of black tea demonstrated the ability to inhibit α-glucosidase and positively influence mRNA expression related to glucose and lipid metabolism.
- Results suggest that BT and Se-BT activate the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, reduce insulin resistance, improve gut microbiota, and may serve as natural foods to help prevent hyperglycemia.
