Diabetes mellitus could result from disorders in insulin secretion or receptors mainly characterised by hyperglycaemia. Natural antioxidants including pomegranate are traditionally used as hypoglycaemic agents. The present research was designed to evaluate the possible therapeutic role of pomegranate peel extract (PPE) against type 1 diabetic-induced hepatic biochemical and histological alteration.
