In this study, the correction of key metabolic parameters such as blood glucose, insulin levels, and water consumption was studied in diabetic (DM) model animals using an extract prepared from cabbage leaves (Brassica oleracea). The results of the study showed that cabbage extract has hypoglycemic and insulinotropic properties. Since this plant is widely distributed in Uzbekistan, it has the potential to be used as a natural remedy for the treatment of diabetes in local conditions.
