锡金和大吉岭喜马拉雅地区的特点是丰富的花卉多样性和同样丰富的民族医学传统。草药是该地区当地部落治疗糖尿病的主要药物体系。在目前的研究过程中，发现属于28个科的37种植物在该地区的民间医学实践中被用作酰胺类药物，其中81%的植物迄今未被报道为降血糖剂。这一发现可能会引发认真的研究，以开发治疗糖尿病的新型有效药物。(c)2005爱思唯尔爱尔兰有限公司保留所有权利。
Sikkim and Darjeeling Himalayan region is characterized by a rich floral diversity and an equally rich ethnomedicinal tradition. Herbal medicine is the dominant system of medicine practiced by the local tribes of this region for the treatment of diabetes. During the course of the present studies it was found that 37 species of plants belonging to 28 families are used as amidiabetic agents in the folk medicinal practices in the region and 81% of these plants are hitherto unreported as hypoglycemic agents. This finding may lead to serious research towards developing new and efficient drugs for diabetes. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
