Anti-diabetic effect of anthocyanin cyanidin-3-O-glucoside: data from insulin resistant hepatocyte and diabetic mouse
Summary
Researchers showed that cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G) — a natural pigment found in blueberries and other dark fruits — can improve insulin sensitivity in both liver cell cultures and diabetic mice by suppressing a protein that blocks insulin signaling. The findings suggest C3G could be a dietary strategy for managing type 2 diabetes.
These findings demonstrated that C3G could alleviate IR in vitro and in vivo to increase insulin sensitivity, which may offer a new insight for regulating glucose metabolism during T2DM by using the natural dietary bioactive components. C3G promotes the phosphorylation of IRS-2 proteins by suppressing the expression of PTP1B, and then enhances the sensitivity of hepatocyte to insulin.
