Antioxidant, anti-diabetic and renal protective properties of Stevia rebaudiana.

Dr Naveen Shivanna

Stevia rebaudiana has been used for the treatment of diabetes in, for example, Brazil, although a positive effect on anti-diabetic and its complications has not been unequivocally demonstrated. Streptozotocin is a potential source of oxidative stress that induces genotoxicity. The effects of stevia leaves and its extracted polyphenols on streptozotocin induced diabetic rats were studied. It can be hypothesized that supplementation of polyphenols extract from stevia to the diet causes a reduction in diabetes and its complications. Several indices were analyzed to assess the modulation of the streptozotocin induced oxidative stress, toxicity and blood glucose levels by stevia.
