EVALUATION OF ANTIDIABETIC ACTIVITY OF PICRORHIZA SCROPHULARIIFLORA PENNELL IN HIGH FAT FED DIET WITH STREPTOZOTOCIN INDUCED TYPE II DIABETIC RATS
High energy-intake is a major factor revolved in type 2 diabetes. The objectives of this study is to set up a suitable animal model, which is similar to the human type 2 diabetes, 6 - 8 weeks old Sprague Dawley rats weighing 220 - 250 gm were consumed high fat diet (HFD) of 20% fat, 46% carbohydrate and 20% protein (w/w). Two weeks later the animals were given with intraperitonial injection of str...
