The regulation of carbohydrate metabolizing enzymes is an effective way of reducing blood glucose levels and improving glycogen synthesis during the management of type 2 diabetes. The present investigation was conducted to explain the detailed mechanism with which a Seagrass, Halophila beccarii extract (HBE) enhances the glucose uptake in the 3T3-L1 adipocyte cell culture system in invitro. HBE stimulates the glucose uptake by the translocation of glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) on to plasma cell membrane through induction of insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1)/protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathways. To assess the effect of HBE on T2DM, we used invivo experimental diabetes rat models induced with streptozotocin (STZ) to perform oral GTT and ITT. Furthermore, we assessed the enzymatic profile of Glycolysis, Pentose phosphate pathway, and gluconeogenesis from liver tissue homogenate. After long-term exposure with HBE, our results confirmed, that HBE improves the glucose uptake in 3T3-L1 cell lines by up-regulation of glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4) through uptake of glucose by the adipocytes. The resulting data indicated that HBE had a great potentiality in preventing diabetes and maintaining glucose homeostasis through improving glucose uptake. The present data also showed that HBE with its insulin mimetic activity activates glycogen synthesis and enhances glucose utilization by regulating the carbohydrate metabolic enzymes. The similarity between HBE and insulin indicates that the HBE follows the mechanisms same as the insulin signaling pathway to show the antidiabetic activity.
