In India, diabetes poses a significant health challenge, especially\u0000in urban areas. While conventional medications are widely available, herbal remedies have\u0000gained popularity due to their potential for fewer side effects and lower costs. Herbal remedies\u0000have been employed for centuries in diabetes management and have been extensively studied for\u0000their blood sugar regulatory properties. Prominent herbs studied for their potential to manage\u0000diabetes include gymnema, cinnamon, fenugreek, and bitter melon. These herbs are believed to\u0000enhance insulin sensitivity, reduce glucose absorption in the intestines, and improve glucose metabolism. This review highlights emerging alternative treatment options, such as stem cell therapy and gene therapy, in the field of diabetes management. Stem cell therapy aims to regenerate\u0000insulin-producing cells or enhance their function, while gene therapy targets the underlying genetic factors contributing to diabetes. These innovative approaches hold promise for more effective and personalized treatments in the future. It is essential to emphasize that any diabetes\u0000treatment or remedy should be discussed with a healthcare professional. Diabetes management\u0000requires a personalized approach based on individual needs and medical history. The integration\u0000of herbal remedies and alternative treatment options into conventional diabetes management\u0000warrants further research to determine their efficacy, safety, and potential for widespread implementation\u0000","PeriodicalId":497255,"journal":{"name":"Current nutraceuticals","volume":" 24","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140993289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the well-known plant species used to cure a wide range of human\u0000illnesses is Abutilon indicum. The plant Abutilon indicum has a wide range of therapeutic uses, and\u0000its varied parts have been employed to cure a wide range of ailments. Numerous bioactive substances,\u0000such as polyphenols, flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, tannins, and glycosides are present in\u0000the plant. Potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, hepatoprotective, hypoglycaemic, analgesic,\u0000sedative, and diuretic activities have been demonstrated in these compounds. Additionally,\u0000the plant has been shown to have cytoprotective properties and to guard against DNA damage\u0000brought on by oxidative stress. Future research is required to pinpoint the specific bioactive chemicals\u0000responsible for the pharmacological effects of Abutilon indicum and the molecular mechanisms\u0000underlying the plant's therapeutic uses. Overall, Abutilon indicum has demonstrated great therapeutic\u0000potential and deserves further study as a possible source of homeopathic treatments for various illnesses.\u0000The present study covers a summary of the phytochemical and ethnomedicinal applications\u0000of Abutilon Indicum that would further help in exploring the research in natural medicine.\u0000","PeriodicalId":497255,"journal":{"name":"Current nutraceuticals","volume":"57 41","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139527518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
