Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a non-preventable autoimmune disease where autoreactive T cells orchestrate the destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells. Individuals with T1D are committed to a life-long dependency on insulin, which it and T1D associated care is expensive, and in many regions around the world is unattainable. Thus, there is an imperative to find an accessible and efficient alternative. The seeds of Garcinia kola are commonly used for cultural and medicinal purposes in West Africa. Previous studies have shown that Garcinia kola seed extract (GKE) has hypoglycemic and anti-inflammatory effects which suit is as a candidate for preventing disease development. It was hypothesized that treatment with GKE would prevent T1D ...
