Evaluation of anti-diabetic effects of Solanaceae

چکیده مقاله

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder that affects the majority of the world's population. Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or the body cannot use the insulin that produces it effectively. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) report, more than 422 million people worldwide will suffer from diabetes by 2014, and 1.5 million will die directly from diabetes by 2012. The use of plants has been common in the past for many disorders and diseases. Today, the use of herbal medicines has increased significantly compared to the past due to the side effects of chemical drugs and the high cost of these drugs. The aim of this study was to investigate the anti-diabetic effects of different species of the family Solanaceae.
