This study evaluated the potential of Mentha longifolia (MML) to protect against kidney damage caused by serotonin-induced hypoglycemia in diabetic rats. Serotonin treatment caused hypoglycemia, impaired the body's defense system, and caused abnormal kidney histopathology. However, treatment with MML extract rescued these changes and reduced the associated toxicity. The study suggests that using MML may be a useful treatment for preventing kidney damage in diabetic patients.
