AbstractDiabetes mellitus is the most common endocrine disorder that impairs glucose homeostasis resulting in severe diabetic complicationsincluding retinopathy, angiopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy and causing neurological disorders due to perturbation in utilization of glucose. In the present study diabetes was induced in albino rat models with alloxan monohydrate. Putranjiva roxburghii Wall. has been claimed to possess antidiabetic properties by many investigators. The present study was undertaken to screen the hypoglycemic activity of ethanol extracts of leaves of Putranjiva roxburghii. The results showed that it has significant antihyperglycemic effect in experimental model of diabetes mellitus.
