The effect of Tinospora crispa crude methanolic extract on hepatoma G2 cell line and wistar rats insulin resistance model / Mohd Nazri Abu

Sedentary and unhealthy lifestyles can contribute to the occurrence of metabolic diseases like insulin resistance (IR), diabetes, obesity and some types of cancer. Tinospora crispa is a significant herb in Malaysia, particularly in treating metabolic diseases have been addressed in many studies but...
