Abstract:

Some physiological functions of plant saponins and their hypoglycemic mechanism have been studied in recent years. This article summarized the research status on these. It was suggested that the study on relationship between saponin functions and mechanism is necessary to find out the therapeutic effects of saponin on the syndrome of diabetes mellitus through modern molecular biotechnology.

Key words: saponins, insulin, diabetes mellitus
