Pluchea indica extracts stimulates insulin secretion through enhancement of Irs2 and Glut2 genes expression in RIN-5F pancreatic β-cells

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder that has reached epidemic proportions with the estimated prevalence rates and trends are escalating largely in developing countries. The awareness of the modern drugs to treat DM which have numerous side effects has led to a recent growing inter...
