“…The plant parts widely used as reported by the informants are bark and leaves, this could be linked to the active ingredients found in higher concentrations in them, thus considered as the most active ingredients (Yemele et al, 2015). This supports the findings of Adekunle 2008 and, Negbenebor et al (2017). Water is used as solvent in all remedy preparation whilst Decoction was reported to be most common method used for remedy preparation and has also been reported by recent ethnobotanical studies (Abdulrahman et al, 2020).…”

“…The informants do not specify any given dosage for administration of medicinal plants; therefore, it is considered as one of their limiting factors. Similarly, no actual dose has ever reported by previous authors with similar studies (Adetutu et al, 2013, Shinkafi et al, 2015, Negbenebor et al, 2017. The plant parts widely used as reported by the informants are bark and leaves, this could be linked to the active ingredients found in higher concentrations in them, thus considered as the most active ingredients (Yemele et al, 2015).…”

“…It has the Sudan savannah type of climate and vegetation characterised by scattered short trees, shrubs and grasses which gradually gives way to semi-arid conditions northward. It is a part of the Hausa land where ethnomedicine is recognized and practiced (Negbenebor et al, 2017). The area is rich in plants with high medicinal value, it also has a long history of civilization as such the use of medicinal herbs is a heritage.…”

Kaduna is known for its diverse wealth of traditional medicines and major markets of traditional medicines. However, the survey was conducted in these areas in other to have an inventory of the plants used traditionally for the treatment of Diabetes. A non-random sampling method was used in the selection of participants and open-ended questionnaires were administered to the age group of 20 and above for the collection of data. A total of 56 informants were interviewed. This study revealed 38 species of medicinal plants. Fabaceae and Rhamnaceae family have the highest abundance. The fidelity level of most agreed plant species are Anisopus mannii (74.48%), Cammiphora kerstingii (70.58%) and Annona senegalensis (69.58). Bark accounted for 37.5% of the most utilized parts, while decoction and oral were the most utilized methods of preparation and utilization at 35.7% and 76.8% respectively. The study showed vast knowledge of the respondents and also enormous varieties of medicinal plants in the study area. Thus, conservation of these wild plants with diabetes therapeutic value to avoid extinction is necessary. However, this study recommends further biological investigations to confirm the compound responsible for antidiabetic activity.

Background: Zingiber officinale Roscoe (Ginger) belongs to the Zingiberaceae family, which is renowned for its rich nutritional and phytochemical composition, and has been validated for its anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory properties via in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies. Nonetheless, a comprehensive review of these pharmacological studies, especially clinical studies, together with an analysis of the mechanism of action of the bioactive compounds is still lacking. This review provided a comprehensive and updated analysis of the anti-diabetic efficacy of Z. officinale and its compounds ginger enone, gingerol, paradol, shogaol, and zingerone. Methods: The present systematic review was conducted using the PRISMA guidelines. Scopus, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and PubMed were the main databases used for retrieving information from inception to March 2022. Results: From the findings obtained, Z. officinale can be regarded as a therapeutic species showing significant improvement in clinical studies on glycemic parameters (Fasting blood glucose (FBG), hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c), and insulin resistance). In addition, the bioactive compounds of Z. officinale act via several mechanisms as revealed by in vitro and in vivo studies. Overall, these mechanisms were by increasing glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, sensitising insulin receptors and raising glucose uptake, translocation of GLUT4, inhibition of advanced glycation end product-induced increase of reactive oxygen species, regulation of hepatic gene expression of enzymes associated with glucose metabolism, regulation of the level of pro-inflammatory cytokines, amelioration of the pathological injuries of kidneys, protective effect on the morphology of β-cells as well as its antioxidant mechanisms, among others. Conclusion: Z. officinale and its bioactive compounds displayed promising results in in vitro and in vivo systems, nevertheless, it is highly recommended that human trials be conducted on these compounds since clinical studies are the core of medical research and considered the final stages of the drug development process.
