INS and metabolic syndrome: suppress (BSEPS) control hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia in diabetic rats by increasing insulin levels and decreasing blood glucose and troponin blood concentrations [235].The fact that EPSs from Lactobacillus plantarum H31-2 decreased the amount of glucose in the supernatant of insulin-resistant HepG2 cells suggests that EPS H31-2 may help these cells to take up glucose through the AMPK/PI3K/Akt pathway.
