Studies have shown that catechin, a polyphenol found in green tea, may have an effect on glucose metabolism in diabetic mice. Glucose levels have been reduced in mice given catechin as compared to mice given insulin. This study looked at the effects catechin, extracted from different types of green tea, had on blood glucose levels in mice with induced diabetes. Blood glucose levels were monitored on mice receiving the different green teas and mice receiving insulin.
