Article Synopsis
- Chrysobalanus icaco L., known as "Grageru" or "Abageru," is a medicinal plant used in Brazil and other regions for treating diseases like diabetes.
- A study investigated the plant's antioxidant properties and its potential to inhibit α-amylase, using various tests in rodents to assess its antidiabetic effects.
- Results indicated that while the aqueous extract showed significant antioxidant activity and reduced blood sugar levels with chronic administration, it did not prevent blood sugar spikes after glucose intake.
