A stimulatory effect of kaempferol 3-neohesperidoside ( 1) on glucose uptake (35% and 21%) was observed when the rat soleus muscle was incubated with 1 and 100 nM of this flavonoid glycoside, respectively. The concentration-response curve of insulin showed a stimulatory effect at 3.5 and 7.0 nM (42% and 50%) on glucose uptake when compared with the control group. The effect of 1 on glucose uptake was completely nullified by pretreatment with LY294002, an inhibitor of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), and RO318220, an inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC). However, no significant change occurred on glucose uptake stimulated by 1 when muscles were pretreated with PD98059, an inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MEK), and cycloheximide, an inhibitor of protein synthesis. Compound 1 and insulin (7 nM) did not show a synergistic effect on glucose uptake. Additionally, 100 mg/kg of 1 by oral gavage was able to increase glycogen content in the muscle. These results suggest that 1 stimulates glucose uptake in the rat soleus muscle via the PI3K and PKC pathways and, at least in part, independently of MEK pathways and the synthesis of new glucose transporters.
