“…O. basilicum extracts and EOs revealed several mechanisms of diabetes management, such as modulation of biochemical, morphometric, and histological disorders of colonic tissue, increased activities of plasma ALT, lysozyme, and total protein, decreased levels of triglycerides, plasma glucose, and hepatic glycogen [ 93 , 94 , 95 ]. From the phytochemical section of our work and the results of Mousavi et al [ 96 ], basil showed richness in active polyphenolic components such as rosmarinic acid, azulene, luteolin, kaempferol, genistein, caffeic acid, diosmetin, 3,4-dimethoxycinnamic acid, and apigenin, which are known to control blood glucose in diabetic animals.…”
