Article Abstract

In recent years, various drugs have been proven to effectively alleviate diabetes, but these drugs are associated with serious adverse reactions. Therefore, the development of safer and more effective new hypoglycemic drugs has become a global research focus. Plant-derived hypoglycemic peptides (PDHPs), due to their remarkable hypoglycemic activity and safety, have emerged as potential candidates for preventing and improving symptoms in diabetic patients. This paper reviews the latest research progress of PDHPs in terms of biological sources, preparation methods, purification, structural identification, structure-activity relationships, and activity evaluation. It also systematically summarizes and prospects the challenges faced by Artificial Intelligence (AI)-assisted PDHPs development and the future growth of PDHPs. This review not only fills the gap in comprehensive literature on PDHPs but also lays a foundation for in-depth research on PDHPs and the development of related products.

Introduction: Plant-derived exosomes (PDEs) are promising nanotherapeutics for improving chronic diseases, such as diabetes mellitus. Trifolium pratense (TP) is a flowering herb with potent antioxidant and antidiabetic properties. The present study aimed to explore the diabetic-healing effects of TP-derived exosomes (TPDEs) in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats.

Studies utilizing cell-based systems to investigate plant-based diets for diabetes management are gaining attention due to the adverse effects associated with commercially available drugs. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the anti-diabetic effects of specific plant-derived products remain inadequately explored. The major aim of our study was to elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which bioactive compounds in the fruit of spp.

A plant-based diet is known to be nutrient-dense and rich in fibers, healthy fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. A diet rich in plant-based foods may help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. As consumers become more health conscious, there is a growing interest in plant-based diets.
