HYPOGLYCEMIC AND HYPOLIPIDEMIC ACTIVITY OF SOLANUM NIGRUM IN ALLOXAN INDUCED DIABETIC ALBINO RATS
AbstractThe objective of this study is to induce experimental diabetes mellitus using Alloxan monohydrate in normal adult albino rats and study the anti‐diabetic activity of changes in body weight, consumption of food and water, volume of urine and levels of glucose between normal and diabetic rats. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common endocrine disorder. Hypoglycemic agents from natural and synthetic sources are available for treatment of diabetes. Indian medicinal plants have been found to be useful to successfully manage diabetes. The effect of methanolic and water extract of Solanum nigrum leaves was investigated in normal, glucose load conditions and Alloxan monohydrate ‐induced diabetic rats. Significant hypoglycemic activity was exhibited by the poly herbal formulation.
