“…Its grains, leaves, and sprouts are used for their antioxidant, hypolipidemic, antidepressant, and antidiabetic effects. Barley is also used for skin abnormalities, arthritis, digestive diseases, weight loss, cancer, and its detoxifying properties [ 100 , 101 , 102 ].…”

“…The mechanism is similar to that of insulin secretagogues such as biguanides or α-glucosidase inhibitors, resulting in decreased insulin resistance and interfering with carbohydrates absorption or metabolism [ 101 ]. Another study revealed that the repeated consumption of 10% w / v barley water and its components, such as amino acids, in alloxan-induced diabetic rats could restore changes in the immunological and biochemical parameters to their normal levels, indicating antidiabetic activity [ 102 ].…”

Diabetes mellitus (DM) comprises a range of metabolic disorders characterized by high blood glucose levels caused by defects in insulin release, insulin action, or both. DM is a widespread condition that affects a substantial portion of the global population, causing high morbidity and mortality rates. The prevalence of this major public health crisis is predicted to increase in the forthcoming years. Although several drugs are available to manage DM, these are associated with adverse side effects, which limits their use. In underdeveloped countries, where such drugs are often costly and not widely available, many people continue to rely on alternative traditional medicine, including medicinal plants. The latter serves as a source of primary healthcare and plant-based foods in many low- and middle-income countries. Interestingly, many of the phytochemicals they contain have been demonstrated to possess antidiabetic activity such as lowering blood glucose levels, stimulating insulin secretion, and alleviating diabetic complications. Therefore, such plants may provide protective effects that could be used in the management of DM. The purpose of this article was to review the medicinal plant-based foods traditionally used for the management of DM, including their therapeutic effects, pharmacologically active phytoconstituents, and antidiabetic mode of action at the molecular level. It also presents future avenues for research in this field.

Diabetes is a global health problem, and the number of diabetic patients is in continuous rise. Conventional antidiabetic therapies are associated with high costs and limited efficiency. The use of traditional medicine and plant extracts to treat diabetes is gaining high popularity in many countries. Countries in the Middle East region have a long history of using herbal medicine to treat different diseases, including diabetes. In this review, we compiled and summarized all the in vivo and in vitro studies conducted for plants with potential antidiabetic activity in the Middle East region. Plants of the Asteraceae and Lamiaceae families are the most investigated. It is hoped that this review will contribute scientifically to evidence the ethnobotanical use of medicinal plants as antidiabetic agents. Work has to be done to define tagetes, mechanism of action and the compound responsible for activity. In addition, safety and pharmacokinetic parameters should be investigated.

Aims and Objectives: Hordeum vulgare Linn is an important cereal grain commonly known as Jao. It is a common ingredient in Tibetan cuisine and is widely used throughout the Middle East as a whole-grain barley meal in soups, stews, porridges, gruels, biscuits, and bread. Barley has various therapeutic actions too such as it is a good enhancer of intelligence, also used to treat headache, cough, pleurisy, and tuberculosis, inflammation of the breast and axilla, post-auricular swellings, acute swelling of joints and gout, scrofula, chronic swellings, melasma, itching, and so on. Chemical analysis of it shows that it contains starch, dietary fibers, proteins, essential amino acids, lipids, unsaturated fatty acids, fixed oil, vitamins and minerals, trace elements, phenolic acids, flavonoids, natural polyphenols (Lignans), phytosterols, folates, and various other constituents. Research studies have shown that it possesses antidiabetic, hypolipidemic effects or anticancer, antioxidation, antiinflammation, immunomodulation, cardioprotection, blood pressure regulation, improve gastrointestinal, hepatoprotection, cardiovascular disease prevention, atopic dermatitis alleviation, and antiaging effects. The aim of this article is to explore different dimensions of barley including botanical, chemical and pharmacological studies of plant besides its traditional uses in Unani Medicine.
