Mechanism of Action of Glucomannan as a Potential Therapeutic Agent for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Based on Network Pharmacology and Molecular Docking Simulation
Abstract:Glucomannan is a polysaccharide with several health benefits such as the ability to lower blood sugar, slow gastric emptying time, accelerate satiety, and modify intestinal microbial metabolism. Therefore it has a potential as an alternative therapy for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study explores the mechanism of action of glucomannan as a potential therapeutic agent for T2DM through network pharmacology and molecular docking simulations. Glucomannan and T2DM target proteins were searched using GeneCa… Show more
