- Abstract
The article presents the findings of a research conducted on examining the suppressive effect of peach leaf extract on glucose absorption from the small intestine of mice. Under the research, an oral carbohydrate-loading test on mice revealed that peach leaf extract suppressed the glucose-induced increase in the blood level of glucose, without affecting the insulin level. It concludes that the extract suppressed postprandial elevation of blood glucose level.
