Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The objective of the current investigation was to investigate the effects of two natural substances, omega-3 and Silymarin, on body-weight and glucose levels in diabetic rats. This investigation attempted to examine the benefits of omega-3 and silymarin on body-weight and blood sugar levels in rats, as well as the ability of each therapy to enhance the medical condition of diabetic patients. Study results indicated that diabetic rats that did not get therapy lost considerable weight owing to insulin lacking causing their bodies to use both muscle and fat as substitutes for energy. whereas, rats supplied with omega-3 and silymarin gained weight, since omega-3 encouraged fat development, whereas silymarin enabled the strengthening of plasma membranes thereby avoiding their depletion. The two substances significantly reduced blood glucose levels, confirming their significance in enhancing glycemic control, reducing inflammation, and regulating metabolic processes. Silymarin is demonstrated to be better in lowering glucose levels in the blood than Omega-3.
