A study evaluated the effects of Tridax procumbens (cotton buttons) extract on rats with induced type 2 diabetes. The extract improved fasting blood glucose levels, insulin levels, dyslipidemia, and antioxidant status while decreasing proinflammatory mediators. The most abundant bioactive compounds identified were isorhamnetin, bixin, and lupeol. The study shows promise for TPME as an alternative therapeutic option for managing diabetic complications.
