#Fennel Essential Oil and Extract Exert Anti Hypoglycemic Activity Scientists Find

Kyle J. Norton

Fennel may havea , a strong effect in preventing the abnormal rise of blood glucose in patients with diabetes, some scientists found.
In comparison to hyperglycemia with an excessive amount of glucose that circulates in the blood plasma, hypoglycemia is a condition of blood sugar, that falls below the levels of the normal range.

Patients with acute hypoglycemia may experience symptoms of clumsiness, trouble talking, confusion, loss of consciousness, seizures, or death.

Most cases of hyperglycemia in patients with diabetes are due to poor management. However, eating more carbohydrates than usual, less physical activity compared to normal days being sick, or high levels of stress in patients with diabetes also can cause blood glucose uptake.

Some researchers suggested that not getting the right dosage of insulin and glucose-lowering medication also causes increased blood glucose levels.

Long-term untreated hyperglycemia can elevate the onset of some serious complications including nerve damage, kidney damage and failure, heart disease, and eye disease, particularly in food and skin problems. or retinopathy foot problems caused by damaged nerves and poor blood flow skin problems, such as bacterial and fungal infections

Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is a plant species belongings to the family Apiaceae (Umbelliferae), native to the Mediterranean

The plant has been used in traditional and herbal medicine as warming, carminative, antispasmodic, and antidepressant agent to stimulate the appetite, ease indigestion, soothe coughing, reduce intestinal spasms, regulate the menstrual cycle and relieve PMS,...

In the examination of the antihyperglycemic activity of fennel essential oil in an animal model, researchers launched an investigation to evaluate rats induced by bacterial streptozotocin.

At the concentrations of 30 mg/kg body weight, the essential oil of fennel demonstrated correction of hyperglycemia in the doses from 162.5 mg/dL to 81.97 ± 1.97 mg/dL by increased the serum , antioxidants activity of serum glutathione peroxidase from 59.72 U/g Hb to 99.60 U/g Hb produced by the host.

The application also improved the pathological changes noticed in their kidney and pancreas, compared to the control group.

After making the final adjustment, researchers suggested that the study not only reaffirms the use of essential oil of fennel for the treatment of hyperglycemia in folk medicine but also raises the possibility of essential oil inclusion in the antidiabetic drug industry.

Further analysis of the ethanolic and aqueous extracts of selected Sudanese plants, including fennel that is traditionally used to treat diabetes, researchers at the Khartoum College of Medical Sciences, suggested that fennel extract reveals a significant antioxidant activity in DPPH free radical scavenging assay.

However, the injection of fennel extract exhibited the highest toxicity.

These findings indicated that although fennel extract processes a substantial and positive effect in reducing the spike of blood glucose intake and the use of the fennel extract can only be prescribed by herbalists and professionals in the related field.

Additionally, in the testing, the hypoglycemic effect of a single dose of Gluconorm-5 (150, 300 and 600 mg/kg body weight) made up of five plants namely Camellia sinensis, Punica granatum, Macrotyloma uniflorum, Foeniculum vulgare and Trigonella foenum-graecum in normal, glucose loaded normal and diabetes-induced rats, researchers found that

* Fifteen days of oral feeding of the Gluconorm-5 (300 and 600 mg/kg) to diabetic rats resulted in a significant (P < 0.01) reduction of blood glucose, lipid profile, liver weight, and marker enzymes as compared to those rats in whom STZ induced toxicity was untreated.

* The diabetic rats treated with the formula showed expanded islets compared to the untreated diabetic rats, which showed shrunken islets.

* Treated rats received 300 mg/kg of Gluconorm-5 showed pronounced antidiabetic, antihyperlipidemic, and hepatoprotective effects.

This comprehensive differentiation showed that Gluconorm-5 processes potent antidiabetic antihyperlipidemic and hepatoprotective effect properties.

Taken together, fennel extract and fennel essential oil used alone or combined with other herbal antidiabetic herbal medicine can be considered an adjuvant in the treatment of hyperglycemia and diabetes mellitus.
