This study investigated how Silymarin affects the growth of insulin-producing cells in a model of partial pancreas removal in rats.
We treated 72 Wistar rats, half of which were given Silymarin daily. The results were clear: the Silymarin-treated rats showed significant increases in both the Pdx1 gene, which is vital for pancreatic health, and insulin production.
Additionally, their β-cell proliferation improved, leading to better blood sugar control. However, the specific effects on pancreatitis were not explored in this study.

Silymarin protects tissues without lowering glucose
We set out to see how silymarin (SMN) could help rats suffering from type 1 diabetes, particularly focusing on the liver and pancreas. In this study, we treated diabetic rats with SMN over 30 days while comparing them to control groups.
Although we noticed that silymarin significantly reduced signs of protein damage in the liver and pancreas, as well as improved renal function, it didn’t help lower blood glucose levels or enhance pancreatic beta-cell function. Overall, this suggests that while silymarin shows promise in protecting pancreatic and liver health, it doesn’t affect blood sugar levels in diabetic conditions.
