Antidiabetic effects of ethanolic extract of Pleurotus ostreatus (mushroom) on alloxan-induced diabetic rats was studied. The median lethal dose (LD50) of the extract was determined to be 3,472.14 mgkg-1 and a single dose of 380.0, 760.0 and 1140.0 body weight of the extract were intraperitoneally administered as the treatment dose and the blood glucose levels (BGL) examined for 7 hours and 15 hours (prolonged) at 2 and 4 hours intervals respectively. The extract exhibited significant (p 0.05 and p 0.01) reduction in the blood glucose levels of the albino rats. The extract compared favourably with the standard reference drug (metformin) which all gave their maximum BGL reduction at 5 hours duration. The confirmation of antidiabetic potentials of the Pleurotus ostreatus tuber has been justified in this study as claimed by traditional medicine practitionersin Akwa Ibom State.

To evaluate the effect of telmisartan on blood glucose levels and blood lipid levels in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. Eighteen Wistar albino rats weighing 150-200gms of either sex were randomly selected from the central animal facility, and divided into 3 groups. Diabetes was induced by injecting Streptozotocin intraperitonelly. The control group received 1% Gum acacia (oral), standard group received 0.5 mg/kg Glibenclamide (oral) and the test group received Telmisartan 7.2mg/kg body weight (oral) from 0-28 days respectively. Body weight of the individual rats were measured on the respective days before blood glucose estimation on 0, 1, 3, 7, 14, 21 & 28th day and fasting blood glucose was estimated by (ACCUCHECK) glucometer. Estimation of fasting lipid profile by lipid screening strips on 1st and 28th day. When compared to control the capillary blood glucose (CBG) levels in the Telmisartan group was less at all the intervals but comparable with that of standard drug Glibenclamide in Streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. Improved lipid profile was seen with the Telmisartan group when compared to control group in Streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. Hypoglycemic activity and improved lipid profile action was seen with Telmisartan group which is comparable to standard drug glibenclamide in streptozotocin induced diabetic albino rats.

Traditionally, Barleria cuspidata Heyne ex Nees is utilized for antidiabetic action with the absence of logical investigation. Thus, the current examination was attempted to explore for its antidiabetic and antihyperlipidemic movement in streptozotocin instigated diabetic animal models. Blood glucose levels were estimated in normoglycemic rats at initial, 60th and 120th minutes intervals and in glucose feed hyperglycemic rats at initial, 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after a solitary portion of streptozotocin at 55 mg/kg body weight intraperitoneal were made diabetic in albino rats. Blood glucose levels were estimated at week by week spans after everyday administration of chloroform and methanol extracts of Barleria cuspidata at dosages of 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight. Other biochemical boundaries of serum triglycerides, cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, VLDL-cholesterol, total protein, albumin, globulin, uric acid, creatinine, urea, transaminases, alkaline phosphatase, alanine aminotransaminase, insulin and glycosylated hemoglobin were likewise estimated toward the finish of the investigation. Chloroform and methanol extracts of Barleria cuspidata by an oral organization for 21 days altogether (P<0.001) decreases the elevated blood glucose extents in diabetic rats whereas in normoglycemic rats it doesn't adjust the blood glucose amounts altogether and in glucose feed hyperglycemic rats significantly decreases the raised blood glucose levels. Likewise, the chloroform and methanol extracts of Barleria cuspidata improved other biochemical boundaries related to diabetes. Moreover, the extracts of Barleria cuspidata favourable affect the histopathological changes of pancreas in streptozotocin initiated diabetic rats. Delayed consequences legitimize the traditional utilization of Barleria cuspidata for its anti-diabetic action.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the important microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus. Several phytochemicals have been reported to show beneficial consequences in Xanthium indicum leaves and α-tocopherol is a well known antioxidant, putting a halt to the fatality of renal dysfunc-tions in DN. In the current study, seven groups of male albino rats six in each group, received the following treatment scheduled for 4 weeks: Normal control, Xanthium indicum, α-tocopherol, Diabetes control, Glibenclamaide treated diabetic, α-tocopherol treated diabetic and Xanthium treated diabetic. Evaluations were made for blood glucose levels, body weights, serum insulin levels, MDA content, creatintne in urine as well as in serum and the histopathological changes were monitored kidney tissues in all experimental rats. Blood glucose levels were significantly (***P<0.001) decreased whereas serum insulin levels and body weights were significantly (***P< 0.001) in-creased, MDA content, serum creatinine levels were significantly (***P< 0.01), (***P<0.001), decreased and urine creatinine levels were increased with the treatment of plant extract and α-tocopherol in diabetic rats. Overall, the findings of this study indicated that the hydromethanolic extract of X. indicum leaves and α-tocopherol possesses a potent capacity that attenuates the renal damage to minimize the deleterious effects of free radicals by maintaining renal hemodynamics in diabetic conditions probably through its antioxidative and hypoglycaemic activity.

Abstract This study was undertaken to determine the antidiabetic and antioxidant effects of oral administration of ethanolic extract of Moringa oleiferaflower on stretozotocin-induced diabetic rats at 100, 200, and 300 mg/kg b.w. Thirty (30) male experimental albino rats were grouped randomly into six groups: groups A, B, and F are the control, diabetic control and reference drug groups, while C-E received 100, 200, and 300mg/kg b.w of the extract, respectively. Blood samples and organs were collected to assay for blood glucose level and antioxidant enzymes. Levels of blood glucose, serum lipids and lipid peroxidation as well as aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activities were significantly reduced (p<0.05) in STZ-induced diabetic rats orally administered ethanolic extract of M. oleifera flower. However, the body weight; catalase and superoxide dismutase activities were significantly increased (p < 0.05) when compared with the controls. M. oleifera flower ethanolic extract administered orally therefore exhibited improved lipid metabolism, glucose-lowering potential and is hence beneficial in preventing diabetic complications as a result of lipid peroxidation and oxidative systems in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. It could thus be employed therapeutically in managing diabetes mellitus.

.The main purpose of present study was to perform phytochemical screening and explore the anti-hyperglycaemic properties of Alangium salvifolium root extract in normal and alloxan induced diabetic rats. A. salvifolium root gave maximum extractive values of 6.4 % w/w with Ethanol and other parameters were within limits. The extract gave positive tests for phytosterols, triterpenes, flavonoids, carbohydrates and alkaloids. The ethanolic extract of A. salvifolium was found to be nearly as potent as tolbutamide in decreasing the blood glucose levels in normal fasting rats. In normal control group the percent reduction in blood glucose indicated that the extract is fast acting. The extract showed significant decrease in blood glucose, when compared with tolbutamide. The evaluated blood glucose levels in alloxan induced diabetic rats were significantly decreased up to 24th h compared to tolbutamide. A single oral administration of alcoholic extract at doses 100, 250 and 500 mg per kg produced a significant blood glucose reduction in a dose dependent manner in normal and diabetic rats. These data confirm the hypoglycaemic and anti-hyperglycaemic effect of alcoholic extract of A. salvifolium root in normal and diabetic rats respectively when compared with standard drug tolbutamide.Keywords: Alangium salvifolium; Ethanolic extract; Alloxan induced; Hypoglycaemic action.© 2011 JSR Publications.
