Berberine
This is a follow up episode to the show titled 'Controlling Blood Sugar - Diet.'

Clarifications:
\xa0
I state that a possible benefit of berberine is to inhibit (stop) gluconeogenesis.\xa0
\xa0
\xa0
I believe I interpreted the literature wrong. It used the term inhibit, but in this case inhibit means to hinder.\xa0
\xa0
\xa0
So by downregulating (which I also got the definition wrong) gluconeogenic enzymes, gluconeogenesis is reduced.
\xa0
\xa0
Downregulation in this context is to diminish the stimulus response of the enzymes on the liver.\xa0
