stimuler
- (transitive) to stimulate
- L'eau d'érable et le sirop d'érable contiennent également d'importantes quantités de terpènes, et plus particulièrement d'acide abscissique. Cet acide est reconnu, entre autres, pour stimuler le relâchement de l'insuline par les cellules pancréatiques et accroître la sensibilité des cellules adipeuses à l'insuline, ce qui lui confère des propriétés thérapeutiques contre le syndrome métabolique et le diabète.
