This insulin-resistant model is also characterized bymodest hyperinsulinemia [6, 7], as observed herein invehicle-treated animals compared to normal non-glucose-fed controls (Figure 5).A 2-week treatment with the ethanolic crude extract of S. decora was effective in reducinginsulinemia below the level of non-glucose-fed controls. The gene discussed is INS; the disease is Hyperinsulinemia.
