INS and Hyperglycemia: The former attempts to reduce gut glucose absorption by controlling postprandial hyperglycemia by mitigating the activity of glucosidases; meanwhile, the latter involves insulin signaling regulation by compensating defects in insulin secretion and insulin action.4 Firstly, α-glucosidase, an exoenzyme found in animals, plants, bacteria, and fungi, breaks down starch and disaccharides to glucose.
