title: [Natural substances affecting type 2 diabetes].
abstract: More than 1,000 species of seed plants and fungi are active in hypoglycemic tests. The potential of their effective molecules is considerable; it could be also expected, that the mechanism of their activity will be very varied. Even though the majority of information is only screening of hypoglycemic effect, there occur the results of valid essays, which report on the possible mechanisms of the activity. This paper represents the attempt at the categorisation of plant drugs, their fractions and isolated substances according to their pharmacological activity and mechanism of the effect.
