[Audio] Diabetes mellitus is a prevalent metabolic syndrome characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose. There has been a steady rise in the number of individuals diagnosed with diabetes, with projections indicating that the global count will surpass 600 million by 2045. Persistent hyperglycemia causes damage to small- and large-caliber blood vessels and peripheral nerves, greatly increasing the risk of heart attack, stroke, blindness, and kidney failure. The metabolic alterations which contribute to increased free radicals in diabetes include increased nonenzymatic protein glycosylation, autooxidation of glucose, activation of aldose-reductase pathway, changes in the levels of inflammatory mediators and localized tissue damage. WHO has recommended the evaluation of traditional plant treatments for diabetes as they are effective, non-toxic, with less or no side effects and are considered to be excellent aspirants for oral therapy. From the reports on their potential effectiveness, naringin, a flavonoid extracted from citrus fruits, has emerged as a promising candidate for the treatment of diabetes. Its ability to inhibit alpha-glucosidase activity, suppress postprandial hyperglycemia, and reduce oxidative stress makes it an attractive option for the management of this disease. Furthermore, its bioavailability and pharmacokinetic properties have been found to be favorable, suggesting that it may be used as a safe and effective therapeutic agent for the treatment of diabetes..

The results highlight the potential of the naringin nanoconjugate in improving the cellular structure and function of organs affected by diabetes..
[Audio] The treatment with naringin nanoconjugate and metformin significantly lowers the level of blood glucose and improves the insulin levels in high fat diet and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. The antioxidant potential of naringin plays a crucial role in achieving these results. Supplementing diabetic rats with naringin niosome and metformin enhances glycogen content in both hepatic and skeletal muscles by increasing glycogen synthase and blocking glycogen phosphorylase, possibly due to elevated insulin levels. Naringin niosome and metformin administration in diabetic rats dramatically reduces glucose-6-phosphatase and fructose-1, 6-diphosphatase activity. Improved insulin secretion may suppress gluconeogenic core enzymes. Lipid peroxides and hydroperoxides increase in diabetic rats' hepatic and renal tissues, while enzymatic antioxidants such as SOD, CAT, and GPx, as well as non-enzymatic antioxidants including Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and GSH, decrease. The antioxidant and antiperoxidative activities of naringin niosome oral treatment reduce lipid peroxidation and hydroperoxides in liver and kidney tissues of diabetic rats. Treatment with naringin nanoconjugate and metformin also decreases the activity of AST, ALT, and ALP enzymes, indicating their potential for hepatoprotection. Finally, the therapy of naringin niosomes significantly reduces lipid parameters to levels comparable to those seen in control groups..
