A team of researchers from Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Shadan College of Pharmacy, and Geethanjali College of Pharmacy in India found that capsaicin in chili peppers (Capsicum annuum) has potent antihyperglycemic effects. Moreover, this effect was observed to be synergistic with the commonly used antidiabetic drug gliclazide.
Overall, the results of the study showed that capsaicin has antihyperglycemic effects that are synergistic with the activity of gliclazide.
