abstract={<i>Gelidium elegans</i> has been reported to improve metabolic function, but it has not been studied in non-obese mice with glucose tolerance. To evaluate the effect of <i>Gelidium elegans</i> (50 or 200 mg/kg doses) on glucose homeostasis, an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), oral maltose tolerance test (OMTT), and insulin tolerance test (ITT) were performed. The non-obese group of mice that was administered 200 mg/kg <i>Gelidium elegans</i> had significantly lowered blood glucose levels. By revealing that <i>Gelidium elegans</i> may improve glucose homeostasis, this study expands our understanding of the anti-diabetic effect of <i>Gelidium elegans</i> and its biological importance.},
