Tambulin from Zanthoxylum armatum acutely potentiates the glucose-induced insulin secretion via KATP-independent Ca2+-dependent amplifying pathway

Tambulin, a flavonol isolated from Zanthoxylum armatum, showed potent insulin secretory activity in our preliminary anti-diabetic screening. Here, we explored the insulin secretory mechanism(s) of tambulin focusing in glucose-dependent, KATP ‒ and Ca2+‒channels dependent, and cAMP-PKA pathways. Mice...
