Further, this plant was shown to inhibit diabetes by decreasing the expression of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and oxidative markers, i.e. lipid peroxidation and protein oxidation; and inducing nuclear receptors such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARγ) and liver X receptor [88, 89]. The gene discussed is PPARG; the disease is diabetes mellitus.
