This document discusses a study that evaluated the effects of Annona cherimola on complications associated with diabetes in experimental diabetic rats. Key findings include:
1) Treatment with Annona cherimola extract significantly reduced blood glucose levels and regulated the release of insulin, C-peptide, and HbA1c in diabetic rats.
2) The extract also helped maintain renal and liver markers near normal levels and improved antioxidant enzymatic levels in the liver and kidney tissues.
3) Infrared thermal imaging showed that treatment reduced asymmetric temperature distribution in the abdominal area of diabetic rats by 1-5%, indicating improved blood circulation.
