Botanical, Pharmacological, Phytochemical, and Toxicological Aspects of the Antidiabetic Plant <i>Bidens pilosa</i> L.

<table>The underlying mechanism of the crude extract of <i>B. pilosa</i> (BP) and its active compound, compound <b>19</b> (CP), in T2D. BP and/or CP can treat T2D development via control of <i>β</i> cell function in db/db mice. Their anti-diabetic actions are through upregulation of insulin expression/secretion and protection of <i>β</i> cells involving secondary messengers (calcium and diacylglycerol) and their downstream PKC<i>α</i> pathway.</table>
