The Effect of Andrographis Paniculata to GLP-1, Fasting Insulin, Insulin 2-h Post OGTT, and HOMA-IR

Prevalence of type 2 diabetes have been increased, but medications had not been well, so that needed new alternatives. A new approach used in management of type 2 diabetes is incretin based therapy. Incretin hormone, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotrophic peptide (GIP), had producted in intestine due to carbohydrate intralumen. After had secreted, GLP-1 had degradated by DPP-4 enzyme till number and effect had been decreased. Decreasing of GLP-1 effect as main defect in type 2 diabetes. Andrographis paniculata (A. paniculata) as traditional treatment had known since years ago to have hypoglycemia effect. Extract of A. paniculata consists of andrographolid and flavonoid. Based on study of Wooten et al that flavonoid has hydroxyl to stimulate insulin's production through modulated GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1 receptor ligand). So the investigators need to study about The Effect of A. paniculata Extract to GLP-1, Fasting Plasma Insulin, Insulin concentrations measured during a standardized 2-h OGTT, and HOMA-IR.
