Scientists from the [[Indian Institute of Chemical Technology]] have found that unprocessed raw horse gram seeds not only possess antihyperglycemic properties{{Citation needed|date=September 2020|reason=Need data used for analysis}}, but also have qualities which reduce [[insulin resistance]]. The scientists made{{Citation needed|date=September 2020|reason=Need data used for analysis}} a comparative analysis between horse gram seeds and their sprouts and found that the seeds have greater beneficial effects on the health of hyperglycemic individuals. The majority of [[antioxidant]] properties are confined to the seed coat and its removal would not do any good{{Citation needed|date=September 2020|reason=Need data used for analysis}}. Raw horse gram seed is rich in [[polyphenols]], [[flavonoids]], and proteins, major antioxidants present in fruits and other food materials. The seed has the ability to reduce postprandial [[hyperglycemia]] by slowing down carbohydrate digestion and reducing insulin resistance by inhibiting protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1 beta enzyme.<ref name="Mallikarjun 2013"/>{{Citation needed|date=September 2020|reason=News articles as scientific reference can not be relied upon }}
