Randomized, prospective design reveals blood glucose reduction in Rattus rattus, suggesting A. argomuelleri may aid diabetes management.

The 300 mg/kg dose of Acalypha argomuelleri extract significantly reduced blood glucose levels after 90 minutes.
Phytochemical analysis identified flavonoids and phenols, indicating potential mechanisms for glucose metabolism modulation.
Higher doses showed faster and more sustained reductions, highlighting the dose-dependent nature of the extract's hypoglycemic effect.
Further studies are necessary to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Acalypha argomuelleri in clinical settings.

Ramos et al. (2025) studied this question.
