IDE and Hyperglycemia: The mechanism of P. atlantica in decreasing hyperglycemia remains unclear, although previous findings in these regards suggested mechanisms such as insulin-like function, facilitation of insulin activity, inhibition of insulinase activity, interference of the fiber content of plants with carbohydrate absorption, inhibiting the production of hepatic glucose and stimulating glucose use by the peripheral tissues (Giner-Larza et al., 2000; Oryan et al., 2014).
