The effect of nettle (Urtica dioica) supplementation on the glycemic control of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a major health problem, worldwide, that is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Several randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) have investigated the effect of nettle (Urtica dioica) supplementation on markers of glycemic status in patients with T2DM, with conflicting results. Therefore, the present study assessed the effect of nettle on some glycemic parameters in patients with T2DM. A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science, from database inception up to June 2019, to identify RCTs invest

Anti-diabetic potential of Urtica Dioica: current knowledge and future direction.

AIM: This review summarizes studies on the anti-diabetic effect of Urtica Dioica (UD) in Type-2-diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We studied worldwide traditional medicines, old texts, and published literature for anti-diabetic effect of UD. Electronic databases comprising PubMed, Web of Science, Science Direct, Scopus and Google Scholar were searched to collect articles published between 1990 and 2021 years. RESULTS: Our literature investigation suggests UD as a glucose lowering, blood lipid regulating, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidation plant. CONCLUSIONS: UD's anti-diabetic properties make

Effects of

BACKGROUND: Several studies have investigated the effect of Urtica dioica (UD) consumption on metabolic profiles in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM); however, the findings are inconsistent. This systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical trials were performed to summarize the evidence of the effects of UD consumption on metabolic profiles in patients with T2DM. METHODS: Eligible studies were retrieved from searches of PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar databases until December 2019. Cochran (Q) and I-square statistics were used to exa

Phytochemical, Anti-diabetic and Cardiovascular Properties of Urtica dioica L. (Urticaceae): A Review.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) have become the main cause of morbidity and death worldwide. In addition, current anti-diabetic and cardiovascular therapy is based on conventional drugs that have limited effectiveness and adverse side effects. In this regard, the role of medicinal herbs as a complementary or an alternative medicine is of great interest. Urtica dioica L. (Urticaceae), which is the focus of this review, has been widely used in traditional medicine to treat a variety of ailments, including, diabetes, hypertension and prostate cancer.

Un análisis de la literatura científica, que abarca estudios realizados entre 1990 y 2021, se centró en la capacidad de la planta para manejar la diabetes tipo 2 [PMID 35673511].

Seguridad y Precauciones

El uso de Urtica dioica requiere una supervisión cuidadosa debido a su potente actividad biológica. En lo que respecta al embarazo y la lactancia, la evidencia científica es insuficiente para garantizar la seguridad absoluta; por tanto, se desaconseja su consumo en mujeres gestantes. El mecanismo de preocupación radica en que la ortiga puede tener efectos sobre el útero o alterar el equilibrio hormonal, lo que podría comprometer el desarrollo fetal. No existen estudios clínicos robustos que confirmen que los componentes de la planta pasen a la leche materna de forma segura, por lo que se recomienda evitar su ingesta durante la lactancia para prevenir la exposición del lactante a compuestos bioactivos sin control. Para niños menores de 12 años, el uso no está indicado. Debido a que los sistemas fisiológicos en desarrollo son más sensibles a las fluctuaciones metabólicas y hormonales, el riesgo de efectos adversos impredecibles es significativamente mayor que en adultos.
