Chemical analysis of freeze-dried seeds of (white tunillo) components and evaluation of their effect on prediabetes reversion in an experimental model in female Wistar rats.

Prediabetes is defined as a state of moderate hyperglycemia. Here, we used freeze-dried seeds of (white tunillo) as a possible therapeutic strategy for the treatment of prediabetes. In the aqueous extract of freeze-dried seeds of white tunillo, polyphenols were identified using the Folin-Ciocalteu technique, separated by UPLC and analyzed by infrared spectrophotometry.
