EVALUATION OF NATURALLY OCCURING COMPOUNDS ORGNO-SULPHUR COMPOUNDS FOR THE TREATMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF DIABETES MELLITUS

PHARMACOLOGY

Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by high blood glucose levels resulting from the inability of the body to produce enough insulin or properly use insulin. The condition affects millions of people worldwide, and its incidence is increasing at an alarming rate. In recent years, there has been growing interest in the use of natural products as alternative treatments for diabetes mellitus. Organo-sulphur compounds are a class of natural products that have shown promise in managing diabetes mellitus. Several studies have demonstrated the potential of organo-sulphur compounds in reducing blood glucose levels, improving insulin sensitivity, and preventing diabetes-related complications. These compounds are found in a variety of natural sources, including garlic, onions, and cruciferous vegetables. Mechanistic studies suggest that organo-sulphur compounds act by increasing insulin secretion, enhancing insulin sensitivity, and improving glucose metabolism. Organo-sulphur compounds hold great promise as a complementary therapy for diabetes mellitus. They offer several advantages, including low toxicity, low cost, and the potential for combination therapy with existing anti-diabetic drugs. However, more research is needed to fully understand the mechanism of action of these compounds and their potential therapeutic applications.
