ABSTRACT

The co-infection of diabetes and malaria poses a significant health challenge, particularly in regions where both diseases are prevalent. This study explores the potential of phytochemicals and vitamins in managing this co-infection, focusing on their synergistic effects. Using type 1 and type 2 diabetic mouse models co-infected with malaria, we investigated the impact of these bioactive compounds on oxidative stress and glucose control. Our findings suggest that phytochemicals and vitamins can alleviate oxidative stress, improve glucose control, and potentially reduce the severity of malaria in diabetic patients. This multi-compound approach could lead to the development of more effective therapies for managing diabetes and malaria co-infection, highlighting the need for further research and clinical trials.
