“After pectin , the high postprandial levels of glucose, insulin , and enteroglucagon were significantly reduced as was the fall in blood glucose between 90 and 120 minutes.”
“ Insulin plasma level was 2.5 fold lower and ghrelin plasma concentration was 25% higher in the mice that received pectin compared to control, at the end of the 24 h SH access period.”
“Results indicated that pectin administration might have caused an increase in the secretion of the insulin , which, in turn, had a stimulatory effect on the PKC activity in the pancreas.”
