Plant-Derived Control of Postprandial Glycemia: α-Amylase, α-Glucosidase, and the Incretin-DPP-4 Interface
Postprandial hyperglycemia can be modified before absorbed glucose reaches the circulation. Plant-derived compounds may slow starch hydrolysis through α-amylase and intestinal α-glucosidases, stimulate glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) release, or preserve incretin activity through dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibiti...
