Analyses of the Anti-diabetic properties of Lactuca Sativa (l.) Seeds from diverse Geographical regions

Abstract

The current studies utilizing diabetic rats have demonstrated that Artemisia indica and Lactuca sativa had the potential to function as antidiabetic agents. These herbs have demonstrated efficacy in mitigating hyperglycemia and protecting against metabolic disorders linked to diabetes. Artemisia indica has been long utilized in the treatment of diabetes, and these findings support that practice. A potential explanation for the observed antidiabetic effects is that Artemisia indica and Lactuca sativa can increase the number of pancreatic β-cells in the islets of Langerhans and rejuvenate their function. Further research is necessary to examine the chemical ingredients of the plant for its hypoglycemic properties, identify specific targets and mechanisms of action of these components, and assess the potential for synergistic effects between plant-derived products and synthetic drugs. Topical formulations can be developed with diverse physicochemical qualities, including solid, semisolid, or liquid consistencies. These studies enable us to get insight into the molecular mechanisms responsible for the observed impacts. Following the identification and characterization of the active compounds, the subsequent stage is to explore their potential therapeutic targets. This will facilitate the advancement of a more accurate and efficacious treatment for diabetes.
