Objective: To evaluate anti-diabetic effect of Caztlerpa lentillifera (C. lentillifera).Methods: The inhibitory effect of C. lentillifera extract on dipeptidyl peptidase-IV and alpha-glucosidase enzyme was measured in a cell free system. Then, interleukin-1 beta and interferon-gamma induced cell death and insulin secretion were measured in rat insulinoma (MN) cells by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-y1)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay and ELISA kit, respectively. Glucose uptake and glucose transporter expression were measured by fluorometty and western blotting, using 3T3-L1 adipocytes.Results: C. lentillifera extract significantly decreased dipeptidyl peptidase-IV and alpha-glucosidase enzyme activities, and effectively inhibited cell death and iNOS expression in interleukin-1 beta and interferon-gamma induced BIN cells. Furthermore. C. lentillifera extract significantly enhanced insulin secretion in BIN cells and glucose transporter expression and glucose uptake in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.Conclusions: Thus, our results suggest that C. lentillifera could be used as a potential antidiabetic agent.
