Effects of <i>Piper sarmentosum</i> on Metabolic Syndrome and Its Related Complications: A Review of Preclinical Evidence
<i>Piper sarmentosum</i> (PS) is a traditional medicinal herb used by South East Asians. It demonstrates promising properties against various non-communicable diseases and infectious agents due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Given that oxidative stress and inflammat...
