This review examines the effects of a plant-based remedy on obesity and type 2 diabetes. It found that the remedy can reduce blood glucose, body weight, cholesterol, and triglycerides while increasing HDL. It also decreases oxidative stress and inflammation. The remedy stimulates insulin secretion and inhibits cholesterol synthesis.
Studies suggest that there is a connection between Type-2 diabetes and Alzheimer's disease in regards to neurological damage and memory impairment. Rosa canina L. (R. canina) has been used for centuries in Persian medicine for nervous diseases. However, its impact on memory impairment in diabetes is unknown. Further research is needed to determine if R. canina has potential therapeutic effects on cognitive decline associated with Type-2 diabetes.
