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

Figure 6

Effects of Gynostemma pentaphyllum (GP) on insulin secretion in GK rat islets with or without 24 hours incubation with 100 ng/mL of pertussis toxin. , (when compared with control group with no addition at 16.7 mM glucose); # (when compared with islets incubated with GP at 16.7 mM glucose without exposure to pertussis toxin) using paired -test. Results of insulin release (μU/islet/hour) are the means ± SEM of three independent experiments with three replicates for each experiment.
