efime Berberine x 60 capsules

berberine can reduce IGF-1 levels. Berberine has been shown to decrease intestinal IGF-1, IGFBP-3 levels, and IGF-1R expression in diabetic mice. Additionally, berberine can inhibit intestinal GLUT2 translocation, which is involved in glucose absorption, potentially through the IGF-1R-PLC-β2-GLUT2 signaling pathway. 
Here's a more detailed explanation:
IGF-1 and its role:
Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is a hormone that plays a crucial role in regulating growth, metabolism, and other bodily functions. It also has a potential link to the development of certain chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes and obesity. 
Berberine's effects on IGF-1:
Studies have shown that berberine can reduce intestinal IGF-1 levels and the expression of its receptor (IGF-1R) in diabetic mice. This suggests that berberine may modulate the IGF-1 signaling pathway, which could have beneficial effects on glucose metabolism and other related processes. 
Mechanism of action:
One potential mechanism by which berberine reduces IGF-1 levels is through its ability to inhibit intestinal GLUT2 translocation. GLUT2 is a glucose transporter protein that facilitates the movement of glucose into cells. By inhibiting GLUT2 translocation, berberine may reduce glucose absorption in the intestine, potentially impacting IGF-1 levels and glucose metabolism. 
Potential benefits:
The reduction of IGF-1 levels by berberine may have several potential benefits, including improved glucose control, enhanced insulin sensitivity, and reduced risk of certain metabolic disorders, as suggested by several studies (2, 3, 4, 5).
