Natural products, including organisms (plants, animals, or microorganisms) have been shown to possess health benefits for animals and humans. According to the estimation of the World Health Organization, in developing countries, 80% of the population has still depended on traditional medicines or folk medicines which are mostly prepared from the plant for prevention or treatment diseases. Traditional medicine from plant extracts has proved to be more affordable, clinically effective and relatively less adverse effects than modern drugs. Literature shows that the attention on the application of phytochemical constituents of medicinal plants in the pharmaceutical industry has increased significantly. Plant-derived secondary metabolites are small molecules or macromolecules biosynthesized in plants including steroids, alkaloids, phenolic, lignans, carbohydrates and glycosides, etc. that possess a diversity of biological properties beneficial to humans, such as their antiallergic, anticancer, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic and antioxidant activities Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease result of metabolic disorders in pancreas β-cells that have hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemia can be caused by a deficiency of insulin production by pancreatic (Type 1 diabetes mellitus) or insufficiency of insulin production in the face of insulin resistance (Type 2 diabetes mellitus). The current medications of diabetes mellitus focus on controlling and lowering blood glucose levels in the vessel to a normal level. However, most modern drugs have many side effects causing some serious medical problems during a period of treating. Therefore, traditional medicines have been used for a long time and play an important role as alternative medicines. Moreover, during the past few years, some of the new bioactive drugs isolated from plants showed antidiabetic activity with more efficacy than oral hypoglycemic agents used in clinical therapy. Traditional medicine performed a good clinical practice and is showing a bright future in the therapy of diabetes mellitus. World Health Organization has pointed out this prevention of diabetes and its complications is not only a major challenge for the future, but essential if health for all is to be attained. Therefore, this paper briefly reviews active compounds, and pharmacological effects of some popular plants which have been widely used in diabetic treatment. Morphological data from V-herb database of each species was also included for plant identification.

The plants have formed the basis of folklore remedy since the beginning of human civilization. The cumulative human endeavor and experience over a period of thousands of years developed into well to organize traditional medicine systems viz. Ayurvedic, Unani, Chinese amongst others. Across the world, traditional medicine is either the mainstay of health care or serves as a complement to modern drugs. In view of worldwide use of traditional medicines, World Health Organization launched ‘WHO-Traditional Medicine Strategy 2014-2023’ for the development of strong policies regarding knowledge-base, safety, quality-control and effectiveness of traditional/alternative therapeutics for national health systems. Besides their use in traditional medicine, plants have always been a good source of modern drug/pharmacologically active molecules. More than half of the modern pharmaceuticals are either plant isolates or their derivatives. The plant-based drugs are not only effective, but have better compatibility with human biological systems because of more biologically relevant chemistry, hence lesser side effects. Some of the species of genus Ammannia (Lythraceae) have been reported for their magical medicinal values. Many herbal formulations containing Ammannia spp. have been patented for treatment of serious diseases/disorders like cancer, spinal disease, human female infertility, chronic tonsillitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, treatment of bladder stones, urinary tract infections, dermatitis etc. The uses of Ammannia spp. in traditional medicine have been further verified by the biological activities of their extracts as well as isolation of bioactive phytomolecules. The current review provides details about Ammannia spp.; its use in folklore remedy, herbal formulations, biological activities of extracts, isolation of bioactive phytomolecules and SAR study of semi-synthetic derivatives to analyze the possibility of new drug molecules of plant origin.

De acordo com a World Health Organization, o Diabetes Mellitus é uma síndrome de etiologia múltipla, ocasionada pela falta de insulina ou por uma incapacidade da insulina de exercer de forma eficaz sua função. O exercício físico é definido como toda atividade física planejada e repetitiva que tem por objetivo a melhoria das funções do organismo. A prática de pelo menos 150 minutos semanais de atividade com intensidade moderada é recomendada para pacientes com diabetes mellitus. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar a influência do exercício físico no tecido ósseo de ratos diabéticos submetidos ao treinamento em esteira motorizada. Foram utilizados 12 animais, divididos em dois grupos: Diabético Sedentário (DS) que não praticava nenhum exercício e Diabético treinado (DT) submetidos ao exercício físico em esteira durante 10 semanas duas vezes por dia, com 6h de repouso entre uma sessão e outra, 5 dias por semana. O diabetes foi induzido através de injeção intraperitoneal de estreptozotocina (60mg/Kg, S.C; Sigma ChemicalCo.) dissolvida em tampão de citrato, pH 4.5. Realizamos, neste estudo, a mensuração das tíbias de ratos diabéticos para verificar a possível participação do exercício físico no desenvolvimento ósseo desses animais. Como resultado, verificou-se que o exercício foi capaz de promover de forma significativa o aumento nos diâmetros da diáfise e epífise distal, bem como aumento no comprimento e peso das tíbias do grupo (DT) vs (DS) com p<0,05.

Background: Diabetes is defined by the World Health Organization as a metabolic disorder characterized by chronic hyperglycemia with disturbances of carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. Families are co-regulating systems in which the stresses and strains of one family member affect the well-being of another member of the family. Caregivers of children with chronic illness report experiencing more parental stress than parents of healthy children. Objective: A descriptive cross-sectional study had been conducted in four centers of endocrine diseases in Baghdad city and data was collected by using self-administered questionnaire regarding quality of life adapted from World Health Organization. The study was conducted on six hundred participants. Data analysis was done by using frequency, percentage and mean and analytical statistics using Chi Square test.  P value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The study showed that social domain had the highest mean score of (51.1) and that environmental domain had the lowest mean score of (38.9). The physical domain’s mean score was (40.2), while mean score of psychological domain was (46.2). The study reported that mothers of children with type 1 diabetes mellitus were more affected than fathers in physical, psychological and environmental domains. There was no difference between mothers and fathers in social domain of quality of life. Conclusion: It was concluded from the study that parents of diabetic children had generally poor quality of life that merits further investigations.

World Health Organization memprediksi bahwa jumlah penderita diabetes di Indonesia akan menduduki peringkat ke lima pada tahun 2025 dengan prediksi jumlah penderita sebanyak 12,4 jiwa. Indeks masa tubuh merupakan salah satu indikator obesitas dengan diabetes melitus pada penduduk Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kaitan obesitas dengan diabetes mellitus pada responden survei Indonesian Family Life Survey V. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian analisis data sekunder Indonesian Family Life Survei V yang dilakukan dengan pendekatan Cross Sectional. Populasi pada penelitian ini sejumlah 48.139 responden, namun setelah data di cleaning dengan tujuan untuk menghapus data yang missing maka didapatkan jumlah responden sebanyak 30.133 dengan kelompok penelitian berdasarkan usia diatas 15 tahun. Hasil analisis Chisquare  menyatakan bahwa terdapat hubungan antara obesitas dengan diabetes melitus dengan nilai p value 0,000 dan nilai POR 3,377; CI 95% 2,602–4,383. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa obesitas memiliki peluang untuk terjadinya sakit diabetes melitus sebesar 3,377 kali dibandingkan dengan orang yang tidak menderita obesitas. Faktor obesitas merupakan salah satu faktor prediposisi untuk meningkatkan gula darah yang merupakan sebuah indikator diabetes melitus. Secara patologi hal ini dikarenakan se-sel beta pulau Langerhans menjadi kurang peka terhadap rangsangan akibat kadar gula darah dan kegemukan (obesitas) akan menekan jumlah reseptor insulin pada sel-sel seluruh tubuh.
