Myricetin Ameliorates Defective Post-Receptor Insulin Signaling via β-Endorphin Signaling in the Skeletal Muscles of Fructose-Fed Rats

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2011
β-Endorphin plays a major role in the amelioration of insulin resistance. The present study documents that myricetin (3,5,7,3′, 4′, 5′-hexahydroxyflavone) ameliorates insulin resistance by enhancing β-endorphin production in insulin-resistant rats.
