referenceClinical applications of medicinal plant chemicals focus on type 2 diabetes characterized by beta-cell failure, early-stage diabetes, and pre-diabetic states, where abnormalities in insulin secretion lead to hyperglycemia and metabolic dysregulation, according to Obakiro et al. (2025).

claimSulfur-containing compounds from garlic, specifically allicin and S-methylcysteine sulfoxide, promote insulin secretion from pancreatic beta-cells and augment glucose-induced insulin release.

claimAllicin and S-methylcysteine sulfoxide enhance insulin production, optimize beta-cell calcium signaling, and provide essential cofactors for optimal insulin secretion by regulating critical enzymatic pathways and cellular energy consumption according to Huang et al. (2024b).
