Hypoglycemic effects of black brick tea with fungal growth in hyperglycemic mice model by Wei Xu, Yang Zhou, Ling Lin, Dongyin Yuan, Yingqi Peng, Li Li, Wenjun Xiao, Zhihua Gong

“…These teas can promote blood glucose transport and absorption by upregulating the protein and mRNA expression of insulin receptor substrate-1 and glucose transporter-2 and stimulate glycolysis by upregulating the protein and mRNA expression of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-biphosphatase 2. Our study suggests that the black brick tea was more effective than the black tea in terms of hypoglycemic.…”
