Zusammenfassung:Cinnamon, a well-known spice comprising the types Ceylon cinnamon and cassia cinnamon has attracted much attention regarding its anti-diabetic potentials. It has been demonstrated that cinnamon's extract has enhanced GLUT4 contents in cytoplasmic membrane, where it facilitates glucose entrance into the cell, a process implicating AMPK pathway. We conclude that cinnamon possess anti-diabetic properties, the effects of which, differ by population. Studies must be conducted to further determine how specific variables, such as diet, ethnicity, BMI, glucose levels, cinnamon dose, and concurrent medication, affect cinnamon responsiveness, regarding diabetes mellitus and its complications.
