Fenfuro is the First dual action insulin sensitizer and exhibits hypocholestremic activity.
In presence of high fiber Furostanolic saponin cells are more sensitive to insulin
An increase in number of insulin receptor sites occurs which are responsive to insulin to stimulate the cells ability to burn glucose (i.e newer insulin receptors with definite insulin sensitizing activity due to specificeffects on the islets of langerhans in the Pancreas)
High fiber Furostanolic saponins delays the rate of gastric emptying and slow carbohydrate absorption & thereby reducing insulin requirements. THREBY BRINGS EUGLYCEMIC EFFECTS
Furostanolic saponins also increase peripheral utilization of insulin & THEREBY BRINGS DOWN THE HYPERINSULLINAMEA
