Steviol glycosides enhance pancreatic beta-cell function and taste sensation by potentiation of TRPM5 channel activity

Nature Communications, 2017
Steviol glycosides are sweet-tasting compounds isolated from a South American shrub and are increasingly used as sweeteners in foods and beverages. Philippaertet al. demonstrate that steviol glycosides potentiate Ca2+-dependent TRPM5 activity and promote

The Effect of Steviol and Hyperthermia on Murine Mammary Adenocarcinoma Cells [PDF]

, 2018
Steviol has been reported to mediate G2/M phase arrest in response to DNA damage thus preventing entry into the M phase. At that point, further treatment with hyperthermia might induce a total apoptosis.
