Major constituents of Cistanche tubulosa, echinacoside and acteoside, inhibit sodium-dependent glucose cotransporter 1-mediated glucose uptake by intestinal epithelial cells

Echinacoside (ECH) and acteoside (ACT), the major constituents of Cistanche tubulosa, suppress the increase in postprandial blood glucose level. Although ECH and ACT have been reported to weakly inhibit α-glucosidases, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Therefore, we focused on the regulatory...
