Common Names: miracle fruit
GS and BBR are natural alternatives to synthetic drugs for obesity and diabetes management. Research on their impact on adipokine gene expression is lacking. Important for potential therapeutic developments.
Study in Alexandria, Egypt showed pandemic led to increased obesity and AOP intake. Examined AOP efficacy/safety and impact on COVID-19 severity. Important for COVID-19 treatment strategies and public health interventions.
Study on Gymnema sylvestre found bioactive compounds with antioxidant properties and potential to inhibit key enzymes related to managing postprandial hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes.
Green-synthesized ZnONPs from Gymnema sylvestre exhibit antibacterial, antibiofilm, and cytotoxic properties against breast cancer cells. These nanoparticles show promise as drug carriers for cancer therapy and biofilm-related infections.
Scientists developed innovative herbal nanoformulations for diabetes treatment, leveraging nanotechnology for improved efficacy and bioavailability. This research offers promising solutions for better managing diabetes worldwide.
Researchers identified genes involved in flavonoid biosynthesis in Gymnema sylvestre through RNA extraction, sequencing, and in silico protein modeling. This information can enhance understanding of medicinal properties and potential applications of this plant.
The researchers looked at a mix of plants to see if it has antioxidant and antidiabetic effects in a diabetes model. This information may be useful for managing diabetes and exploring natural remedies.
Supplementing with myo-inositol, d-chiro-inositol, α-lactalbumin, Gymnema sylvestre, and zinc improved lipid profiles in T2DM patients without therapy modification, reducing cholesterol and LDL levels after 3 months and maintaining improvement after 6 months with weight reduction. (34 words)
This study found that extracts from two plants improved blood glucose levels, insulin secretion, and restored serum parameters in diabetic rabbits. These plants may have potential as an alternative treatment for diabetes.
This study compared the effects of diet alone and diet with myo-inositol, d-chiro-inositol, α-lactalbumin, and in obese dysmetabolic patients. The treated group showed greater improvements in metabolic parameters, suggesting that this supplement combination could enhance the effects of dietary programs.
Gymnema Sylvestre (GS) supplementation may improve cardiovascular risk factors including lipid profile, glycemic control, blood pressure, and anthropometric indices, according to a study. However, more research is needed due to limitations in study quality and heterogeneity.
This study reviewed 10 studies and found that Gymnema sylvestre supplementation can effectively improve glycemic control and lower lipid levels in patients with type-2 diabetes.
Scientists have identified 93 potential drug candidates from natural products such as medicinal plants and herbs that could effectively inhibit the coronavirus, including COVID-19. These candidates include pure compounds like Blancoxanthone and herbacetin, and extracts from plants like Artemisia annua and Tinospora cordifolia. The study suggests that natural products can be used as a source for potential drug discovery against COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses, including SARS and MERS-CoV. This provides a promising avenue for future research to develop effective treatments for the ongoing pandemic.
