In response to the recent rise in numbers of diabetes patients, many treatments have been developed; but currently, oral antihyperglycemic agents and insulin are still the main clinical treatments. Since current drugs have limitations and harmful side effects, research in alternative treatments has been sought. This article reviews recent research updates of Saskatoon berries (SB), covering its background information, its main active ingredients, its structure, and its function. Flavonoid compounds in Saskatoon berries, in particular flavanol, anthocyanin, and proanthocyanin, possess anti-inflammatory, antitumor, and antidiabetes impacts. The current review synthesizes the latest research on the health benefits of Saskatoon berry in a variety of domains. With further research, SB has the potential to help treat and prevent diabetes in the future.
针对近期糖尿病患者数量的上升，已经开发出许多治疗方法；但目前，口服抗高血糖药物和胰岛素仍然是主要的临床治疗方法。由于现有药物存在局限性和有害的副作用，因此一直在寻求替代治疗方法的研究。本文综述了萨斯卡通莓（SB）的最新研究进展，涵盖了其背景信息、主要活性成分、结构和功能。萨斯卡通莓中的类黄酮化合物，特别是黄烷醇、花青素和原花青素，具有抗炎、抗肿瘤和抗糖尿病作用。本综述综合了萨斯卡通莓在多个领域的最新健康益处研究。随着进一步的研究，SB 有可能在未来帮助治疗和预防糖尿病。
