Abstract
|
|
A
herbal powder consisting of Guargum, Methi, Tundika and Meshasringi
was administered to thirty control and thirty NIDDM patients twice
daily before principal meals for four weeks. Oral GTT showed
improvement in both control and patient groups. Serum total and LDL
cholesterol also fell significantly in both the groups after the trial
period. Test meal of the herbal powder with D-Xylose excretion was
otherwise normal. Follow up for upto two years did not reveal any long
term side effect of the powder. This powder, therefore, can be
effectively used to reduce postprandial blood glucose and LDL
cholesterol in NIDDM patients as a long term measure. |

Abstract
|
|
Effect of feeding orally
the aqueous extract of beans of Cyamopsis tetragonoloba was
investigated on fasting blood glucose levels in glucose loaded, normal
and alloxan-induced diabetic rats and compared with gliclazide, a
reference drug.The aqueous extract of beans at 250 mg/kg body wt
significantly lowered blood glucose levels in alloxan-induced diabetic
rats within 3 hr of administration.Continued administration of the
extract at the same dose daily for 10 days produced statistically
significant reduction in the blood glucose levels while marginal
activity was seen in normal and glucose-loaded rats. |
