In this research, we report that silkworm powder has inhibitory effects on glucose absorption in human intestinal epithelial cells. Silkworm powder inhibited α-glucosidase activation and glucose transporter (SGLT1) expression. These results suggest that silkworm powder can be used as a natural functional food for the prevention and alleviation of type-2 diabetes.}, pages = {387--390}, title = {Effects of silkworm powder on glucose absorption by human intestinal epithelial cell line Caco-2}, volume = {61}, year = {2007} }
