Functional Studies - Glucose Assay Kit (ab65333)

Shao et al investigated the functional outcome of long- term curcumin supplementation on glucose homeostasis. Glucose metabolism was determined in animals with low fat diet (LFD), high fat diet (HFD) and HFD with curcumin feeding using ab65333. Intraperitoneal insulin tolerance tests(IPITT) were conducted at the end of the 26 weeks. It was concluded curcumin improves insulin sensitivity and disposal of glucose.

Glucose measured in cell lysates showing quantity (nmol) per million cells.

Samples with the concentration of 2x107 cells/mL were used. Samples were diluted 1.5-13.5 fold and measured colorimetrically.
