Inhibition of Intestinal α-Glucosidase and Glucose Absorption by Feruloylated Arabinoxylan Mono- and Oligosaccharides from Corn Bran and Wheat Aleurone

Figure 6

Glucose uptake inhibition (%) by ferulic acid in Caco-2 cells. A plot to demonstrate that ferulic acid is the active site for inhibiting glucose absorption in Caco-2 cells. Inhibition percent was calculated from means of glucose uptake in the presence of ferulic acid or ferulic acid sugar esters.
