People with Diabetes mellitus are at higher risks of developing serous diabetic complications such as neuropathy, nephropathy, cataract and heart attacks. Four molecular mechanisms are involved in the development of diabetic complications; increase in the flux of glucose through the polyol pathway, increased intracellular formation of advanced glycation end products (AGES), activation of protein kinase C (PKC) and increased flux through the hexosamine pathway. Among these, the polyol pathway plays a vital role in the development of diabetic complications. In view of the researchers started working on synthetic compounds for the treatment of diabetic complications. The failure of synthetic compounds because of their low safety and poor pharmacokinetics made look into the alternative source from plants/phytochemicals. So in view of these, the book gives details about several plants and phytochemicals reported for the treatment of diabetic complications. The book will be valuable for people who work as plants/ phytochemicals for the treatment of diabetic complications.
