This study investigated the effect of p-methoxycinnamic acid (p-MCA) on plasma glucose and insulin concentrations in normal and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. In both fasting and glucose-loading conditions, an oral administration of p-MCA (40-100 mg/kg) significantly decreased plasma glucose and also
