ABSTRACT:
INTRODUCTION: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from impaired glucose metabolism. Management involves pharmacological, dietary, and behavioral interventions. Recent studies have investigated the therapeutic potential of medicinal plants in glycemic control, highlighting Momordica charantia (Bitter Melon) for its hypoglycemic properties. However, its mechanisms of action are still poorly understood. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the mechanisms of action of Bitter Melon in glucose metabolism.
