Important Trees with Antidiabetic Activities

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Medicinally Important Trees

Abstract

This chapter explains antidiabetic activities of woody plants like Achras sapota, Bombax ceiba, Barringtonia acutangula, Casuarina equisitifolia, Conocarpus lancifolius, Eriobotrya japonica, Euphorbia pulcherrima, Jasminum sambac, Kigelia pinnata, Lagerstroemia indica rosea, Hibiscus rosa sinensis, Morus alba, Murraya koenigii, and Roystonea regia. More than 400 plants are reported to have antidiabetic activities due to their effects on lowering blood cholesterol, decreasing lipid peroxidation, and increasing the renewal of parietal cells in the pancreas and thereby stimulating the secretion of pancreatic insulin. The medicinal properties of many such trees are described in this section.
