“Since an herbal compound, berberine , lowers blood levels of glucose and lipids, we proposed that it would improve insulin/IGF-1 signaling, blocking muscle protein losses.”
“However, pretreated with berberine for 24 h augmented the response of MIN6 cells and rat islets to glucose and attenuated the glucolipotoxicity.”
“In high-fat-fed rats, berberine treatment for 6 wk significantly decreased plasma glucose and insulin levels before and after an oral glucose challenge along with the reduction of body weight and improvement of blood lipid profile.”
