In this study, we aimed to investigate the antidiabetic effects of Euphorbia nivulia (En), native to Cholistan Desert area of Bahawalpur, Pakistan. First, we performed high-performance liquid chromatography analysis and found that this plant contains ferulic acid, gallic acid, quercetin, benzoic acid, polyphenols, and flavonoids. Then, we performed in vitro and in vivo studies to assess its effects on diabetic Wistar rat model. The experiments were performed and compared with control drug glibenclamide. The 70% hydroalcoholic extract of En exhibited 97.8% in vitro α-glucosidase inhibitory effect at a dose of 1.0 mg/mL. We orally administered the extract of En and control drug to the streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats and analyzed its antidiabetic effects. We found that the extract of En with a dose of 500 mg/kg/body weight exhibited significant effect to reduce blood glucose in STZ-induced rats as compared with the control group ( P < .001). Our histological data also showed that the extract significantly improved the histopathology of pancreas. Collectively, both in vitro and in vivo studies revealed that En possesses α-glucosidase inhibitory, antioxidant, and anti-hyperglycemic effect in STZ-induced diabetic rats.

A siddha polyherbal preparation consisting of 5 medicinal plants, namely, Asparagus racemosus, Emblica officinalis, Salacia oblonga, Syzygium aromaticum, and Tinospora cordifolia, in equal ratio, was formulated to examine the molecular mechanism by which it exhibits antidiabetic effects in the liver of high-fat and fructose-induced type 2 diabetic rats. The polyherbal preparation treated type 2 diabetic rats showed an increase in insulin receptor, Akt, and glucose transporter2 mRNA levels compared with diabetic rats. Insulin receptor, insulin receptor substrate-2, Akt, phosphorylated Akt substrate of 160kDaThreonine642, α-Actinin-4, β-arrestin-2, and glucose transporter2 proteins were also markedly decreased in diabetic rats, whereas the polyherbal preparation treatment significantly improved the expression of these proteins more than that of metformin-treated diabetic rats. The expression pattern of insulin signaling molecules analyzed in the present study signifies the therapeutic efficacy of the siddha polyherbal preparation.
