Abstract:

We report here two obese subjects who started the same anti-obesity herbal tea. Diabetes progressed just after drinking the tea probably through the decreased insulin secretion and sensitivity in the case 1 and 2, respectively. Direct deleterious effects of the tea on insulin secretion and action were confirmed by in vitro studies using RIN-5F and HepG2 cells.

Keywords:
