What is it about?

Silychristin A is a major component with potent antioxidant capacity in Silybum marianum. We have shown it attenuates type 1 diabetes via decreasing oxidative stress in pancreatic islet beta cells in STZ-induced type 1 diabetic rats for the first time.

Why is it important?

We demonstrate the hypoglycemic effect of silychristin A in type 1 diabetes for the first time.

Perspectives

I hope this article makes people could focus on the other effects of Silybum marianum except for hepatoprotective effect.
