Abstract Title:
The anti-diabetic and antioxidant effects of a combination of,andin diabetic rats.
Abstract:
Objective: Effects ofandethanolic extracts andhydro-ethanolic extract combination were evaluated in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats.Materials and Methods: Male Wistar rats (n=48) were randomly assigned into: control; diabetic; diabetic+metformin (300 mg/kg); diabetic+dose 1 of herbal combination (438 mg/kg of+214 mg/kg of+857 mg/kg of); diabetic+dose 2 (642 mg/kg of+214 mg/kg of+642 mg/kg of); and diabetic+dose 3 (857 mg/kg of+438 mg/kg of+1714 mg/kg t of). All treatments were given orally by gavage. Diabetes was induced by STZ (60 mg/kg, i.p.). At the end of study (day 28), blood glucose, insulin and lipid profile; as well as hepatic malondialdehyde (MDA) and thiol content, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities were determined.Results: In diabetic rats, plasma glucose, triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), and LDL-C, as well as hepatic MDA levels were elevated but plasma HDL-C and insulin, and hepatic thiol content and SOD and CAT activities were reduced compared to control (p
