Figure 3. TBE enhanced insulin mediated glycogen synthesis of liver and skeletal muscle tissue in mice. Mice were treated by gavage with TBE at concentrations of 100, 200 and 500 mg/kg or metformin (200 mg/kg). After 30 min, mice were intraperitoneally injected with Mac-CM (0.1 mL/10g, diluted with saline, 1:1, v/v). After 30 min, mice were injected with insulin (0.5 IU/kg, s.c.), and the hepatic and skeletal muscle glycogen were determined after 30 min. Metformin was taken as a positive control. The results were expressed as the mean ± SD (n = 10). *p < 0.05, compare to control
