Abstract
|
|
The antidiabetic activity
of Leucas lavandulaefolia Rees (Family - Labiatae) extract on
streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rats has been investigated. A
methanol extract of the herb at doses of 200 and 400 mg/kg, and
glybenclamide (1 mg/kg) were administered concurrently to STZ-diabetic
rats. The extract caused a significant reduction of blood glucose
levels in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats by 29.8% (p<0.001)
compared with control groups. |
