Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEffect of Cinnamomum cassia Stem-Bark Extracts on the Synthesis and Secretion of Insulin in RIN-m5F CellsAnanias Hodi Kgopa, Sebolaishi Doris Makhubela, Motetelo Alfred Mogale, Leshweni Jerry ShaiCinnamomum cassia (C. cassia) crude stem-bark extracts possess some hypoglycemic properties through inhibiting the uptake of glucose by the intestines and/or enhancing insulin sensitivity. To further investigate the mechanism through which the hypoglycemic effect is exerted, this research explored the influence of the extracts of the crude stem-bark of C. cassia, with various polarities, on particular aspects of glucose consumption … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 5 Apr 2022 · 5,784 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMomordica balsamina Fruit Extracts Enhances Selected Aspects of the Insulin Synthesis/Secretion PathwayAnanias Hodi Kgopa, Leshweni Jerry Shai, Motetelo Alfred MogalePrevious studies have suggested that crude plant extracts of the anti-diabetic medicinal plant, Momordica balsamina (MB) may exert their anti-diabetic effect through either enhancement of insulin sensitivity or inhibition of intestinal glucose absorption. However, the effects of these MB extracts on insulin synthesis and secretion are not well documented in the literature. Therefore, a main purpose of the current research … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 17 Dec 2020 · 6,999 accessesView PDF Cite
