Why is it important?
Although therapies are available for the management of diabetes, which includes anti-diabetic drugs and insulin injections, yet continuous use of synthetic drugs provides lower healing with many side effects. But the continuous search for effective anti-diabetic drugs from a natural source is the main reason behind exploring marine resources for therapeutic and nutritional compounds.
Perspectives
Marine bio-resources produce several novel scaffolds, which show their good efficacy and bioavailability in the treatment of gestational diabetes. Thus, marine resources have attracted much interest of the scientific community.
