Herbal extracts are expected to treat diabetes

According to a study by the University of California, Irvine, Rhodiola Rosea roots can help control type 2 diabetes

According to a recent study published in Scientific Reports, Rhodiola rosea reduced the number of inflammatory biomarkers and improved insulin response

"The prevalence of type 2 diabetes and the associated healthcare costs have steadily increased in recent decades

The scientists tested whether Rhodiola rosea could enhance glucose homeostasis, using a genetically engineered mouse model that produces obesity, insulin resistance and hyperglycemia, similar to advanced human type 2 diabetes

"Our findings suggest that red sky may be beneficial for treating type 2 diabetes by altering the action of the microbiome, leading to an increase in the integrity of the intestinal barrier and reducing the translocation

The team's next step is to conduct larger follow-up studies on different mouse models of obesity-induced diabetes to confirm these findings and investigate the associated molecular mechanisms

"Our study provides a solid case for the importance of conducting high-quality preclinical studies based on reliable methods to assess the efficacy
