Medicinal Plants with Antidiabetic Properties: Applications and
Opportunities is the first comprehensive reference to present the state
of current research as well as those developments that are impacting
developments in the use of plants to address diabetic conditions.
Presenting multiple perspectives on the plants, their identification,
cultivation and application, this book presents the state of the art
with an eye toward the future.
Herbal drugs and their components
with insignificant toxicity and limited or no side effects are
valuable therapeutic alternatives in the treatment of diabetes around
the world and have been considered a fundamental source of potent
antidiabetic drugs. Exploration of plants containing numerous
bio-active compounds such as flavonoids, terpenoids, saponins,
carotenoids, alkaloids, and glycosides, for their potential
antidiabetic properties is increasing as alternative treatments for
this globally devastating disease are sought.
Presented in 5
parts, the book first provides an overview of those plants with
antidiabetic properties, then moves to the agricultural practices for
the cultivation and production of those plants. Part Three focuses on
the chemical composition and phytochemicals of the plants before then
moving into a study of the physiological, biotechnological and
molecular approaches to optimizing these plants. The book concludes
with insights into current and potential future medical and clinical
applications.
The book is ideal for those seeking to understand
the biology and chemistry of plants with anti-diabetic properties and
their effective development and application.
Includes insights from laboratory research to field application
Presents perspectives from agriculture, biotechnology, molecular biology, pharmaceutical, pharmacological, and clinical trials
Highlights the cost-effective and eco-friendly technologies for sustainable, agricultural developments in antidiabetic plants
