The FBG level
was measured weekly
using a One-Touch Ultra ZSJ 843ETT Glucometer (Johnson & Johnson).
The OGTT and the ITT were performed during week 4 and week 5, respectively.
All mice were fasted for 6 h before tests and then supplemented with
water or the SJE by gavage. Mice were gavage with 2 g/kg BW glucose
for the OGTT or injected with 1 IU/kg BW insulin for the ITT. Basal
blood glucose levels were measured before oral glucose administration
or insulin injection (0 min) by collection of blood samples from the
tail vein. Later, additional blood glucose levels were detected every
30 min for 2 h in total.
