“…The recruitment, accumulation, and activation of pro-inflammatory macrophages in hypertrophic adipose tissue leads to the increase of production of pro-inflammatory adipokines such as TNF-α and IL-6 that is shown to induce insulin resistance in different tissues [ [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] ].For this reason, new therapeutic options for managing diabetes mellitus and its complications target inflammation. An extract from Eu leaves, named OBE100, possesses hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities [ [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] ].
