Key Findings
- The study by NUST focused on hyperglycemic mice to evaluate the benefits of Nigella sativa (NS) and Cassia angustifolia (CA) in preventing diabetes-related nervous system issues
- Mice treated with NS and CA showed improvements in memory, reduced myelin loss, and better synaptic protein expression despite ongoing hyperglycemia
- NS was particularly effective in preventing memory impairments, demyelination, and synaptic dysfunction, suggesting these herbs could help manage complications of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM)
