Evaluation of Antidiabetic Effects of the Traditional Medicinal Plant Gynostemma pentaphyllum and the Possible Mechanisms of Insulin Release

Figure 4

Effect of Gynostemma pentaphyllum (GP) with or without nifedipine (N) on glucose stimulated insulin secretion from isolated GK rat islets. (when compared with control group with no addition); ^## (when compared with group with only GP); (when compared with N). Results of insulin release (μU/islet/hour) are the means ± SEM of six independent experiments with three replicates for each experiment.
