From: [6]-Gingerol, from Zingiber officinale, potentiates GLP-1 mediated glucose-stimulated insulin secretion pathway in pancreatic β-cells and increases RAB8/RAB10-regulated membrane presentation of GLUT4 transporters in skeletal muscle to improve hyperglycemia in Leprdb/db type 2 diabetic mice

[6]-Gingerol increases skeletal glycogen deposition. a Total skeletal muscle glycogen, b skeletal Glycogen synthase 1 protein level, and c Glycogen synthase 1 activity were measured from the skeletal smooth muscle collected from the [6]-Gingerol treated (4 weeks, 200 mg/kg/day orally) Leprdb/db mice following an oral glucose load (2 g/kg). Values are presented as Mean±SD (n = 10 for each group). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001, n.s. not significant (Student’s t-test)
