Abstract

Diabetes mellitus, a persistent metabolic hyperglycemia, has emerged as a major health concern in recent years. Despite the primary therapeutic approach with insulin and oral hypoglycemic drugs, there has been a recent growing interest in the use of medicinal herbs for diabetes management. This study investigated the multifactorial protective effects of Jamun seed powder (JSP) in alloxan-induced diabetic female mice. Forty-five Swiss albino mice were divided into five groups (control, diabetic, JSP-200, JSP-300, JSP-400). Except for controls, all mice received alloxan, and treatment groups were administered JSP (200–400 mg/kg) orally for 28 days. Hypoglycemia attributes, hematological and biochemical indices, oxidative stress markers, and reproductive performance were comprehensively evaluated. JSP demonstrated significant (p
