  • Researchers identify therapeutic potential of Subabul seed pods for managing insulin resistance in type II diabetes, developing active compounds.

The article from The Hindu BusinessLine discusses the potential of subabul seeds in managing insulin resistance, a condition linked to type 2 diabetes. Researchers from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) in Pune have identified that subabul seeds contain a protein called SSPG, which has shown promise in reducing insulin resistance. This protein works by binding to the insulin receptor, thereby enhancing insulin sensitivity. The study, published in the journal 'Diabetes', highlights that SSPG could be developed into an oral supplement for diabetes management, offering a natural alternative to synthetic drugs. The research also points out the need for further studies to understand the long-term effects and optimal dosages of this protein.
