Abstract
|
|
Investigations were carried out to
evaluate the effects of hot-water extracts of Artocarpus heterophyllus
leaves and Asteracanthus longifolia whole plant material on the
glucose tolerance of normal human subjects and maturity-onset diabetic
patients. The extracts of both Artocarpus heterophyllus and
Asteracanthus longifolia significantly improved glucose tolerance in
the normal subjects and the diabetic patients when investigated at
oral doses equivalent to 20 g/kg of starting material. |
