(-)-Epicatechin and β-glucan from highland barley grain modulated glucose metabolism and showed synergistic effect via Akt pathway
In this study, (-)epicatechin (EC) and β-glucan (BG) were identified as the active compounds in highland barley grain that modulated glucose metabolism. The mechanism underlying EC may target on insulin receptor and regulate target on insulin receptor substrate-1 /phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase / pro...
