Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a widespread chronic metabolic disease that is characterized by elevated blood glucose levels. While treatment is primarily done through the use of pharmaceutical drugs, there is a growing interest in investigating natural alternatives, especially with regard to medicinal plants. The study investigated the hypoglycemic potential of mung beans (Vigna radiata), which is a member of the plant family Fabaceae. Members of this plant family are known for their bioactive substances, such as dietary fibers, polyphenols, and peptides. Peer-reviewed studies published between 2019 and 2025 were compiled and synthesized by the researchers. This synthesis consists of five studies that involve the use of various animal models of diabetes. The results revealed that mung bean extracts, which include methanolic, peptide, hydroethanolic, and seed coat formulations, were able to significantly lower fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels. Enhanced insulin sensitivity, pancreatic β-cell regeneration, and modulation of gut microbiota were among the identified mechanisms that contributed to its hypoglycemic capabilities. It was determined, however, that further clinical trials in humans were needed in order to validate these results as well as to be able to explore their long-term efficacy and safety.
