A Proanthocyanidin From Cinnamomum Zeylanicum Stimulates Phosphorylation Of Insulin Receptor In 3T3–L1 Adipocytes

Non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus is due to in large part to insulin resistance, a state where the target cells are no longer responding to ordinary levels of circulating insulin. A drug that promotes the initiation of insulin receptor (IR) signaling by enhancing IR phosphorylation should be...
