Role of GLP-1 in the Hypoglycemic Effects of Wild Bitter Gourd [PDF]
This study aimed to examine the role of GLP-1 in the hypoglycemic activity of wild bitter gourd (Momordica charantiaL., BG). In vitro, the GLP-1 secretion in STC-1, a murine enteroendocrine cell line, was dose dependently stimulated by water extract (WE), its fractions (WEL, >3 kD and WES, <3 kD), and a bitter compounds-rich fraction of BG. These
