UNVEILING THE ANTI-DIABETIC POTENTIAL OF QUERCETIN AS A NATURAL BIOACTIVE COMPOUND – A REVIEW
AbstractQuercetin, a flavonoid with diverse health benefits, has anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and anti-cancer properties. Found in fruits and vegetables like onions, apples, and berries, Quercetin has shown potential in combating cancer growth, chronic inflammation, and oxidative stress. Various studies suggest Quercetin may effectively manage type 2 diabetes and its complications, offering a safer alternative to conventional treatments. Conventional treatments for type 2 diabetes often involve costly medications with adverse side effects. In contrast, Quercetin offers a natural, cost-effective solution with minimal risks. It has been identified as a potential anti-diabetic agent due to its ability to modulate glucose metabolism, improve insulin sensitivity, and mitigate oxidative stress. This review aims to summarize the current evidence on the anti-diabetic effects of quercetin, its underlying mechanisms, and its potential as a therapeutic agent for the management of type 2 diabetes. Overall, quercetin appears to be a promising anti-diabetic agent, warranting further investigation for its potential use in the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes.
