Effects of momordin Ic on gastric emptying and serum glucose levels in insulin, insulin and glucose-, or insulin and fructose-pretreated mice. Insulin (1 U/kg, s.c.) and glucose (2 g/kg, i.v.) or fructose (2 g/kg, i.v.) were injected into fasted mice 30 min before administration of momordin Ic. Gastric emptying and serum glucose levels were determined 30 min after administration of 1.5% CMC-Na test meal. Momordin Ic was given orally 30 min before administration of test meal. Bars represent means with S.E.M. of gastric emptying (%) and serum glucose level (mg/dl). Significantly different from control group, **p < .01.
