Vernonia cinerea leaves as the source of phenolic compounds, antioxidants, and anti-diabetic activity using microwave-assisted extraction technique

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder disease emanating from the inability of body’s response to high glucose levels in the blood. However, the side-effects from consuming synthetic drugs have reduced the effectiveness, thus, the potential of purple fleabane (Vernonia cinerea) leaf was investiga...
