Abstract

Abstract: Diabetes and its associated complications including diabetic neuropathy have become a menacing headache for health workers and scientists all over the world. The number of diabetic individuals has been growing exponentially every day while the entire medical fraternity feels crippled and unable to handle such an enormous and anarchical scenario. The disease also demonstrates itself in the patients in numerous ways ranging from a little discomfort to death. Diabetic neuropathy has a poor prognosis since it might go unnoticed for years after the onset of diabetes. The etiology of the disease has been linked to oxidative stress caused by increased free radical production. Hyperglycemia causes multiple metabolic pathways to be activated, as well as significant oxidative stress, which becomes the major cause of cell death, culminating in Diabetic Neuropathy. So, the hour of the need is to find out the permanent treatment for this life-threatening disease. The primary goal of this study is to emphasize the potential importance of numerous processes and pathways in the development of diabetic neuropathy as well as the possible role of plant metabolites to control the disease at a molecular level. A possible mechanism was also summarized in the study about scavenging the reactive oxygen species by a flavonoid component. The study also covered the in vivo data of various plants and some of the flavonoid compounds actively studied against Diabetic Neuropathy by inhibiting or reducing the contributing factors such as pro-inflammatory cytokines, ROS, RNS inhibition, and upregulating the various cellular antioxidants such as GSH, SOD, and CAT.
