In-vivo and ex-vivo inhibition of intestinal glucose uptake: A scope for antihyperglycemia

Conclusions The kinetic studies on the glucose transport inhibition across the intestinal membrane by the plant extract was a non competitive type of inhibition of the intestinal glucose transporter protein (GLUT2 and SGLT1) revealing the probable mechanism of hypoglycaemic effect of the aqueous leaf extract of P. amarus .
