Tea Drinking Alleviates Diabetic Symptoms via Upregulating Renal Water Reabsorption Proteins and Downregulating Renal Gluconeogenic Enzymes in db/db Mice.

For the first time, the present study demonstrates that tea has robust effects in enhancing kidney water reabsorption proteins and downregulating gluconeogenic enzymes in db/db mice. It remains to be investigated whether such beneficial effects of tea occur in humans.
