“…Medicine from herbs is readily obtained in our widely varied vegetation, inexpensive and all plant parts carry the potential for introducing new templates into modern medicine (Jackie et al, 2016). Natural plant sources are usually the raw material for the most pharmaceutical company (Amin et al, 2016).…”

“…calcium ions in beta-cells, may help to stimulate insulin exocytosis [65]. Among vegetables, dandelion is one of the richest source of beta-carotene (11,000 µg/100 g leaves, same as in carrots), from which vitamin A originates [66]. In the past few years, dandelion has demonstrated health benefits including antirheumatic, anti-carcinogenic, diuretic, laxative, hypoglycemic, and chloretic effects [67].…”

“…The root of dandelion contains inulin which includes fructooligosaccharides (FOS). FOS is a complex carbohydrate; its intake benefits bifido-bacteria, which eliminate pathogens in the gastrointestinal tract [66]. As a result of mineral absorption, FOS stimulates the immune system, and thereby suppresses abnormal cell growth.…”

“…This inhibitory action contributes to glucose homeostasis, especially in diabetic patients [28]. The actions of CGA and TS to decrease glucose absorption could be a therapeutic approach that helps to reduce postprandial blood glucose level in T2D patients [66]. The bioactive components in dandelion are known to act at target sites of biochemical pathways, especially at sites where glucose metabolism is involved.…”

The Physiological Effects of Dandelion (Taraxacum Officinale) in Type 2 Diabetes

2016

■ AbstractThe tremendous rise in the economic burden of type 2 diabetes (T2D) has prompted a search for alternative and less expensive medicines. Dandelion offers a compelling profile of bioactive components with potential anti-diabetic properties. The Taraxacum genus from the Asteraceae family is found in the temperate zone of the Northern hemisphere. It is available in several areas around the world. In many countries, it is used as food and in some countries as therapeutics for the control and treatment of T2D. The anti-diabetic properties of dandelion are attributed to bioactive chemical components; these include chicoric acid, taraxasterol (TS), chlorogenic acid, and sesquiterpene lactones. Studies have outlined the useful pharmacological profile of dandelion for the treatment of an array of diseases, although little attention has been paid to the effects of its bioactive components on T2D to date. This review recapitulates previous work on dandelion and its potential for the treatment and prevention of T2D, highlighting its anti-diabetic properties, the structures of its chemical components, and their potential mechanisms of action in T2D. Although initial research appears promising, data on the cellular impact of dandelion are limited, necessitating further work on clonal β-cell lines (INS-1E), α-cell lines, and human skeletal cell lines for better identification of the active components that could be of use in the control and treatment of T2D. In fact, extensive invitro, in-vivo, and clinical research is required to investigate further the pharmacological, physiological, and biochemical mechanisms underlying the effects of dandelion-derived compounds on T2D.

Hypoglycemic and antioxidant effects of five commercial turmeric ( Curcuma longa ) supplements

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

We evaluate the hypoglycemic and antioxidant effects of five commercial turmeric (Curcuma longa) supplements: (1) bulk samples, (2) turmeric root from India, (3) curcuma turmeric Pronat®, (4) turmeric & black pepper Swanson®, and (5) C3 complex® turmeric curcumin. Glucose diffusion and enzymatic starch digestion assays, using α‐amylase and α‐glucosidase, were performed. The antioxidant activity of turmeric supplements was measured through lipid peroxidation inhibition and the scavenging radical assay. A starch dose of 102 mg/Kg of body weight (equivalent to 1 g/day in humans) was used to perform the oral starch tolerance test (OSTT) in Wistar male rats. All turmeric supplements decreased glucose diffusion and α‐glucosidase enzyme activity, and inhibited lipid peroxidation. The rats that received bulk samples and CT showed significantly lower glucose levels than rats receiving acarbose and those of negative control group. Our results show that biological activities of turmeric supplements vary according to the commercial presentation. Practical applications The study results suggest that the hypoglycemic and antioxidant effects of five commercial turmeric supplements vary among them. The information provided would be useful to physicians and individuals using these supplements.
