Anti-Diabetic and Antioxidant Effect Evaluation of Thai Shallot and Cha-Miang in Diabetic Rats

Diabetic rats had a significantly decreased body weight, RBC-GHS, liver-GHS, and RBC-SOD activity and a significantly increased relative organ weight, blood glucose levels, insulin levels, insulin resistance, HbA1C, TC, TG, LDL, plasma-MDA, and liver-MDA when compared to the N-DW group. However, plant supplementation and metformin improved diabetes-related parameters, especially the combination of CME or FCME with SHE and metformin, which showed the greatest potential for improving diabetic conditions. (4) Conclusions: The research indicates that CME or FCME conjugated with SHE and metformin demonstrates the greatest potential for enhancing diabetic conditions, confirming positive synergism. These findings suggest that the combination of CME or FCME with SHE and metformin may be effective for diabetic treatment.
