In these two studies, researchers from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in China investigated the mechanisms underlying wu mei wan’s ability to protect pancreatic beta cells and reduce insulin resistance. The results of their studies were published in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine and Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, respectively.
The researchers concluded that WMW inhibits the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and reduces proinflammatory cytokine production to alleviate insulin resistance, protect pancreatic beta cells, and prevent Type 2 diabetes.
