Abstract

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is one of the most common chronic complications of diabetes. Diosgenin is a natural steroidal saponin with a variety of beneficial effects, including antidiabetic effects, and is a raw material for the synthesis of carrier hormones. In our study, we aimed to assess the antioxidant effects of diosgenin in diabetic mice.
