C: control, drinking tap water group; GT: green tea-treated group; D: diabetic, drinking tap water; DGT: diabetic, treated with green tea group. MAP: mean arterial pressure; HR: heart rate; HRV: heart rate variability; APV: arterial pressure variability; LF: low-frequency domain of APV. *𝑃<0.05 versus all groups; ^#𝑃<0.05 versus C.
