Previously, in white rats with alloxan diabetes trihydroxyoctadecadiene acids from B. alba had a hypoglycemic action. The effects of the above-indicated compounds on the activity of glycogen phosphorylate (a- and b-forms), phosphoprotein phosphatase and hexokinase in liver and muscle tissues of white rats with alloxan diabetes. The possible mechanisms of the hypoglycemic action of trihydroxyoctadecadiene acids are discussed.
