Andrea Carolina Alban Cadena, Noelia Zandra Ramirez Garcia, Maria Jose Brito, Cesar David Guerra Naranjo

Resumen


La medicina tradicional ha sido el apoyo de la humanidad durante cientos de años, brindando un sinfín de soluciones para diversas enfermedades al igual que una gran cantidad de beneficios nutricionales para la salud. Esta se enfoca en el uso de plantas medicinales, donde se puede encontrar un sin número de componentes químicos con propiedades medicinales únicas. En ese contexto, el higo, cuyo nombre científico es Ficus Carica, es una planta perteneciente a la familia Moraceae que ha sido utilizada en la medicina tradicional debido a su potencial farmacéutico. Este árbol de sabia lechosa, ramas dispersas, frutos en forma de pera y hojas similares a las de la papaya posee diversos componentes como fitoesteroles, flavonoides, aminoácidos, antocianinas, ácidos orgánicos, entre otros. Además, posee efectos antioxidantes anticancerígenos, antiinflamatorios e hipolipidémicos. Estos componentes son usados para el tratamiento de diversas afecciones endócrinas, respiratorias, gastrointestinales y reproductivas. De igual manera, brinda un excelente potencial antidiabético para disminuir la cantidad de glucosa en la sangre. Por esta razón, el objetivo de esta revisión es el análisis del potencial antidiabético de Ficus Carica contra la diabetes tipo II , determinar cuáles componentes generan dicho efecto, y describir nuevos tratamientos antidiabéticos naturales con una mayor eficiencia y menos efectos adversos.
