“…The inhibitory potential of the extracts of N. tabacum against the activities of α-amylase and α-glucosidase may be due to the presence of phytochemicals such as tannins, saponins and flavonoids. Studies have shown that tannins possess multiple biological activities including antioxidant, anticancer and antimicrobial activities (Gin et al, 1999;Amarowicz., 2007). Tannins have also been reported to have health benefits in Alzheimer and diabetes (Ono et al, 2004).…”

“…Oxidative stress and free-radical generation were implicated in the genesis and progression of diabetic nephropathy (42). The insulinsensitizing effect of iron depletion is known (39,43,44), and glycemia and insulinemia can be further lowered by both CHO restriction (45,46) and polyphenol intake (47,48). Because iron, hyperinsulinemia, and hyperglycemia act in concert to upregulate free-radical reactions (rev.…”

“…Tannins could cause several effects on the biological system because they are potential metal ion chelators and protein precipitation agents forming insoluble complexes with proteins, as well as biological oxidants (52). Tannic acid and tannin-rich nonalcoholic components of red wine have been shown to reduce serum glucose levels after starch-rich meals in a study of patients with non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (53). As the mechanism involved in this anti-hyperglycemic effect is unknown, it is possible that tannins can inhibit α-amylase activity in situ.…”
