Saponins 0-8 AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 Rattus norvegicus 103-106 33069631-8 2021 Moreover, saponins increased the phosphorylation of Akt protein and decreased the protein level of FoxO1, which were both reversed by the PI3K inhibitor ly294002. Saponins 10-18 AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 Rattus norvegicus 52-55 33069631-10 2021 Saponins also increased Akt and PDX-1 mRNA and decreased FoxO1 mRNA, which were both reversed by ly294002. Saponins 0-8 AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 Rattus norvegicus 24-27 33069631-13 2021 In conclusion, our findings improve our understanding of the function of saponins in INS-1 pancreatic beta-cells and suggest that saponins may increase insulin secretion via the PI3K/Akt/FoxO1 signaling pathway. Saponins 130-138 AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 Rattus norvegicus 183-186
