Antidiabetic and antioxidants activities of Clinacanthus nutans (Burm F.) Lindau leaves extracts

Clinacanthus nutans (C. nutans) is a local plant belongs to the family Acanthaceae. It is consumed as ‘jamu’ (healthy drink) in Indonesia and as ‘ulam’ in Malaysia. This plant has been claimed for its ability to prevent many diseases including diabetes. However, its scientific proof on this claim is...
