Potential of medicinal plants to ameliorate neovascularization activities in diabetes: A systematic review.

This review examines the potential of medicinal plants to reduce complications of diabetes caused by excessive angiogenesis. Identified plants lowered blood glucose levels and increased body weight, while also decreasing VEGF protein expression and vasculature activity. They have the potential to ameliorate neovascularization activities in diabetes.
