Glut-4 Activity based Anti-Diabetic Drug Screening System

Scientists at NCCS have developed an in-vitro anti-diabetic drug screening system based on glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) activity in a novel cell line (CHO-HIRc-mycGLUT4eGFP). Using this system, GLUT4 translocation under stimulation can be visualized by live cell imaging and captured real-time for qualitative and quantitative analysis of GLUT4 on the cell membrane.

Herbal Extracts for Metabolic Diseases in ready-to-market Formulation

Fenugreek seeds are well known in Indian traditional medicine for use in the management of Diabetes and Obesity. However, the therapeutic dose of 25-50 g/day of Fenugreek seeds is not feasible for human consumption due to its bitter taste and pungent odour. Scientists at NCCS have designed and patented novel methods for preparing aqueous extracts of fenugreek seeds that would be reasonably convenient for human consumption. Continue reading
