Rebaudioside A (Standard) is the analytical standard of Rebaudioside A. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Rebaudioside A is an orally effective steviol glycoside with high sweetness. Rebaudioside A acts as an inhibitor of alpha-glucosidase with an IC50 value of 35.01 µg/mL. Rebaudioside A increases the ATP/ADP ratio in beta cells in a glucose-dependent manner, thereby inhibiting KATP channels, leading to membrane depolarization, calcium influx, and ultimately stimulating insulin secretion. Rebaudioside A activates the SREBP signaling pathway by inhibiting HMGCR, the rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol synthesis, resulting in increased expression of LDLR on the cell surface, thus promoting the uptake of LDL-C in the blood. Rebaudioside A can be used for studies on blood glucose and lipid regulation as well as anti-obesity.
