Anti-cataract and anti-diabetic properties of Citrus hystrix dc. leaf extract in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats

Citrus hystrix leaf is an important South-East Asian culinary ingredient with anti- oxidant, anti-inflammation, and cardio-protective properties. Inflammation, hyperglycaemia and oxidation are significant contributors to diabetic cataract formation. This study demonstrated the mitigating effects of...
