Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how flavonoids affect insulin secretion in β-cells, particularly focusing on resokaempferol (ResoK) and its potential benefits for insulin deficiency.
  • Researchers tested INS-1 β-cells and pancreatic islets from rats to assess the ability of ResoK to enhance insulin secretion under glucose stimulation.
  • Results showed that ResoK increases insulin secretion by stimulating L-type calcium currents, even in dysfunctional β-cells, suggesting it could be a promising treatment strategy for improving insulin secretion.
