STUDY OF PLANTS WITH D-CHIRO-INOSITOL AND ITS DERIVATIVES ON DIABETES
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmacognosy - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Diabetes is an endocrine disorder and it is due to deficiency in secretion or action of insulin. The increased prevalence of diabetes in recent decades has made it to serious risk for public health. Human always has great consideration to plants for treatment of illnesses, especially diabetes and it is probably due to common ingredients with mammalian cells such as inositol, especially isomer of D-chiro-inositol, which plays a vital role in signalling pathway of insulin, and its lack in structure of inositol phosphoglycan leads to insulin resistance. Therefore, the possession of an inexpensive and available source of this ingredient is essential for patients suffered from diabetes. In the current study, we reviewed the effects of D-chiro-inositol and its derivatives and herbs with them on diabetes.
