<p><strong>Background:</strong> Diabetes is one of the commonest and serious metabolic disorders. Much of the morbidity and mortality associated with diabetes is primarily attributed to sequelae requelac of microvascular and macrovascular changes, in which diabetic dyslipidemia is one of the many modifiable risk factors for coronary artery disease, stroke and peripheral vascular disease.</p><p><strong>Objectives:</strong> The main aim of this study was to evaluate the hypoglycemic and antidyslipidemic effect of selected Indian plants in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats.</p><p><strong>Material and Methods:</strong> Azadirachta indica and Ocimm sanctum leaves, Allium sativum bulbs and Momordica charantia fruits were collected, identified taxonomically and extract was obtained. Male Albino rats was used and divided into 8 groups, each consisting of 6 animals, one group act as a control. Diabetes in rats was induced with streptozotocin. Blood samples were collected and biochemical analysis was done for blood sugar, lipid peroxide and lipid profile. The diabetic group without drug treatment was compared with the control, and diabetic plus drug-treated groups were compared with the diabetic group without drug treatment. Data were analyzed using Student ‘t’ test.</p><p><strong>Results:</strong> Our results revealed that administration of streptozotocin in rats caused increase in the levels of glucose, lipid peroxides, cholesterol and triglycerides with lessening of the HDL-cholesterol. Treatment with aqueous extracts of Momordica charantia, Allium sativum, Azadirachta indica and Ocimum sanctum not only reduced the level of blood glucose but also caused lowering of total cholesterol and triglycerides following an increase in the level of HDL-cholesterol.</p><p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> We concluded that the herbal plants tested possess both hypoglycemic and antidyslipidemic activities and their use as a therapeutic tool in diabetes related complications encourage further investigation in this field.</p>

As ecto e endoparasitoses são responsáveis por perdas significativas na pecuária brasileira, e estudos relacionados ao controle dessas enfermidades vêm aumentando cada vez mais. Uma forma de controle dessas parasitoses é o uso de fitoterápicos. O mercado brasileiro de produtos veterinários é composto por vários tipos de produtos que vão de medicamentos a rações, suplementos alimentares e, mais recentemente tem surgido espaço para os fitoterápicos. O pensamento de que o tratamento com plantas é simplesmente fazer um chá de folhas, faz com que o uso da fitoterapia seja pouco abordado e explorado. Diante do exposto, o presente trabalho objetivou descrever as principais plantas utilizadas como fitoterápicos no controle de ecto e endoparasitoses em equinos e bovinos. As plantas encontradas para o controle dos ectoparasitas foram: Cymbopogon nardus L, Aloe vera L, Azadirachta indica, Artemísia vulgaris L, Eucalyptus sp., Chenopodium ambrosioides L. e Syzygium aromaticum. Para o controle das verminoses foram encontradas: Allium sativum L, Curcubita pepo L., Momordica charantia, Operculina hamiltonii e Musa sp. Com essa busca bibliográfica, pôde-se concluir que o uso de fitoterapia em equinos e bovinos é menor quando comparado com o uso em pequenos ruminantes, entretanto é uma alternativa viável para o controle dessas afecções.
