  Author(s): Rija Jafar*
  
  Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of metabolic abnormalities including obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance, which significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes. Recent research has focused on natural remedies to mitigate these conditions, with Stigma Maydis (cornsilk) emerging as a potential therapeutic agent due to its bioactive compounds, such as flavonoids, alkaloids, and phenolic acids. This study aims to assess the therapeutic potential of Stigma Maydis in managing MetS. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature, we highlight its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and hypoglycemic properties that may help in reducing the components of MetS. Animal and human trials have shown that cornsilk can positively influence weight management, blood pressure regulation, lipid profiles, and insulin sensitivity. Furthermor.. Read More»
