Corn silk exhibits strong antioxidant properties due to its polyphenolic content. These compounds scavenge free radicals, protecting cells from oxidative stress and potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases (Hasanudin et al., 2012) (Pradhan & Dhrangdhariya, 2024) (Zhang et al., 2024).
Corn silk has been shown to reduce blood sugar levels by inhibiting xanthine oxidase and stimulating insulin activation. This makes it a potential natural remedy for managing diabetes (Apampa & Adedapo, 2024) (Rahmawati et al., 2022) (Dika et al., 2018).
The extract has been found to improve blood lipid profiles by reducing total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL cholesterol, while increasing HDL cholesterol. This contributes to its potential in managing conditions like angina pectoris (Shi et al., 2019).
Corn silk's antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and diuretic properties protect kidney function by reducing oxidative stress and improving urine flow. It is also effective in lowering uric acid levels, benefiting kidney health (Ying-ping, 2004) (Singh et al., 2023).
