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

Figure 5

Effect of Gynostemma pentaphyllum (GP) with or without H89 and calphostin C (C) 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). Results of insulin release (μU/islet/hour) are the means ± SEM of three independent experiments with three replicates for each experiment.
