Current lifestyle, eating habits, stress, environmental factors and physical in-activeness have radically increased the progression of several lifestyle diseases. Diabetes Mellitus is one of them considered to be a major public health problem caused by insulin resistance or insulin secretory defects of pancreas that predicted to be turned globally as a pandemic having devastating complications including heart, kidney or neuro-endocrine disorders with increasing number of prevalence ratio day by day. Many drugs are commercially available for managing diabetes, their side effects and high costs underscore the need for herbal alternative drugs. Globally, researchers have been looking for natural therapeutic substances that treat or delay the onset of these lifestyle-related disorders. Numerous types of medicinal plants being implicated as jamun and fenugreek are one of them treat variety of disease ailments but in a few years shift has been focused towards the using of jamun and fenugreek seeds powder in multiple forms which are packed with variety of bio-actively important constituents being effective in controlling blood sugar levels, glycated hemoglobin levels and showed insulin like effect in experimental models, remarkably. In this review we will discuss about chemical composition and potent anti-diabetic potential of jamun and fenugreek seed.
In the current research paper, the effect of ginger powder on diabetic rats was probed. The bio-adequacy study was observed on Alloxan prompted Wistar rodents by taking ginger powder at three levels for example 1%, 3% and 5% ginger powder for a time of about a month. There were 4 gatherings (one was control and the other three getting various rates of ginger powder), each containing 5 rodents. The blood tests were gathered at multi day, fifteenth day and 28th day. Glucose and insulin levels were estimated. The information in this manner acquired was genuinely investigated to discover the degree of importance. Results showed that glucose levels essentially diminished alongside critical expansion in insulin levels. This examination configuration infers that ginger powder has constructive outcomes in bringing down glucose levels. Subsequently, use of ginger powder and ginger tea ought to be expanded in diabetic patients to diminish hyperglycemia in diabetic patients and defeat from high BSL levels in pre-diabetics. The conclusive results of this study were that ginger powder effected and show anti-diabetic effects as mean values of glucose levels dropped from 362.35±25.61 to 117.94±10.96. Proximate analysis showed that ginger powder contains ash, moisture, crude fat, crude fiber and crude protein content as 6.5% ± 0.31, 19.9% ± 1.50, 12.6% ± 0.50, 5.2% ± 0.11, 9.9% ± 0.34 respectively. Moreover, in liver functions, ALP, ALT, AST were examined resulting as a drop in mean values from 154.20±11.86 to 153.89±11.53, from 51.93±4.32 to 50.68±4.15 and from 106.77±12.85 to 110.26±11.54 respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
