Effects Of Phytochemicals on Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus -A Short Review

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the most prominent cause of mortality globally. It is a severe metabolic disorder marked by high blood glucose levels and insufficient insulin generation and activity. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) prevalence has risen dramatically due to population aging, obesity, and modern lifestyles. T2DM is distinguished by impaired beta pancreatic cell function and insulin production. Numerous studies have found that diabetes mellitus is related to increased free radical production and decreased antioxidant potential. Phytochemicals are essential in improving insulin sensitivity, which has free radical scavenging and antioxidant properties. Several phytoactive compounds, such as flavonoids, prophenylphenols, vicine, charantin, lignans, glycosides, and karavilosides, are also found to combat the complications of diabetes. The primary focus of this research will be the connection between T2DM and the preventative roles of several phytochemicals on diabetes through their antioxidant characteristics. These phytochemicals and photo sourcesmay be employed to discover and create novel anti-diabetic medicines
