Glucose tolerance in DIO mice before and after a 12-week treatment with MZ-2 orsaline. (A) Blood glucose levels after oral administration of glucose (2 g/kg); (B) Change inglucose tolerance after 12 weeks of treatment.Blood chemistry was determined at the end of the experiment in both animal models, whilean oral glucose tolerance test was performed in DIO mice before and after treatment.MZ-2 reduced body weight gain in sedentary ob/ob [6] and DIO mice (Figure 2) whileit had no any effect on body weight gain in exercising mice [6,7]. MZ-2 decreased body fatcontent, insulin and glucose serum levels, and elevated the HDL/LDL ratio 70% in bothobese animal models [6,7]. While saline treatment decreased glucose tolerance AUC inDIO mice, MZ-2 treatment resulted in a significant decrease (P
