Key Findings
- The study from SKUAST-Kashmir found that aged garlic extract (AGE) significantly reduced blood glucose levels in diabetic rats
- AGE did not improve insulin sensitivity but effectively managed post-meal blood sugar levels
- AGE promoted the regeneration of pancreatic β-cells and prevented their death, potentially restoring insulin production
