Examining bilbery's potential for treating diabetes and coronary diseases

This is an interesting brochure authored by Professor Alban Ibraliu,

Anni Koci Kallfa and Frédéric Perron-Welch.

In a Biodiscovery Case they write the followings:

"Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus), a species native to Europe and North America, is a perennial subshrub from the family ericaceae, subfamily vacciniaeae. According to germplasm documentation and to scientific studies, the bilberry is widely used to improve night vision and to decrease vascular permeability and capillary fragility; moreover, the berry has various other reputed health benefits, although most interest has been focused on anthocyanin-related antioxidant effects.

Antibacterial compounds from Vaccinium myrtillus may have important applications as natural antibacterial agents. furthermore, bilberry has antioxidant and anticancer properties and protects against coronary diseases. Bilberry has also been reported to have anti-obesity and hypoglycaemic effects, which would bring cardioprotective benefits. in Albania, bilberry has been used in traditional remedies as treatment for diabetes and coronary diseases. the Agricultural university of Tirana (Alb), among others, is currently undertaking research to assess and further develop the biodiscovery and product development potentials of these leads"
