Determining the Effectiveness and Safety of Cinnamon Derivatives for Diabetes Treatment with HPLC
March 27th 2025Cinnamon and its byproducts have been used for many years because of their antidiabetic effect. In a joint study conducted by Gazi University (Ankara, Turkey) and Düzce University (Düzce, Turkey), high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) and thin-layer chromatography (TLC) analyses, macroscopic analyses, and enzyme inhibition assays on diabetes-related enzymes were performed on cinnamon samples to determine whether they are safe to use for health purposes.
