Possible Interaction: Central Nervous System Stimulants and Berberine

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

BRB inhibits mitochondrial complex I partially and thereby cause increased AMP/ATP ratio, which stimulates AMPK activity (Thr 172 phosphorylation).
Neuropharmacology  •  2018  |  View Paper
These results suggest that BBR acutely stimulates both AMPKα1 and AMPKα2 and insulin-independent glucose transport in skeletal muscle with a reduction of the intracellular energy status.
Metabolism: clinical and experimental  •  2010  |  View Paper
Together, we concluded that berberine increases glucose transport activity of 3T3-L1 adipocytes by enhancing GLUT1 expression and also stimulates the GLUT1-mediated glucose uptake by activating GLUT1, a result of AMPK stimulation.
Biological & pharmaceutical bulletin  •  2007  |  View Paper
These results suggest that berberine circumvents insulin signaling pathways and stimulates glucose uptake through the AMP-AMPK-p38 MAPK pathway, which may account for the antihyperglycemic effects of this drug.
