The effect of "Teucrium polium L." extracts on insulin release from in situ isolated perfused rat pancreas in a newly modified isolation method: the role of Ca2+ and K+ channels.

Abstract

It can be concluded that the insulinotropic properties of TP extracts can be attributed to the presence of apigenin existing only in Met. E, but not in Aq. E and fractions. Moreover, certain types of K+ and Ca2+ channels take part in this effect.
