Abstract
Metabolic diseases (MetD) such as diabetes mellitus, obesity, and hyperlipidemia have become global health challenges. As a naturally occurring plant component, puerarin has been verified to possess a wide range of pharmacological effects including lowering blood glucose, improving insulin resistance, and regulating lipid metabolism, which has attracted extensive attention in recent years, and its potential in the treatment of MetD has been highly acclaimed. In addition, puerarin has exhibited antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cardiovascular protective effects, which are of great significance in the prevention and treatment of MetD. This article comprehensively summarizes the research progress of puerarin in the treatment of MetD and explores its pharmacological mechanisms, clinical applications, and future perspectives. More importantly, this review provided a list of the involved molecular mechanims in treating MetD of puerarin. Taking into account these conclusions, it may provide a strong foundation for the optimized use of puerarin in the treatment of patients suffering from MetD.
