Some of these plants presented an efficient in vitro andin vivohypoglycemic effect. Indeed, the antidiabetic mechanism of action is not full understood. However, the antidiabetic activities of luteolin, oleuropein, chlorogenic acid, and apigeninisolatedare nowstudied. These compounds induce the antidiabetic effect viathe inhibition of the PKB/AKT pathway, and PPARγ expression and the activation of AMPK and PI3K-GSK3 pathways. These molecules present a potential as an alternative compounds in diabetes therapeutic strategy and further studies should be performed to elaborate their effects in clinical trials.
