Online published on 24 December, 2019. Abstract Aim To investigate the antioxidant, antidiabetic, and antihyperlipidemic activities of Dolichandrone atrovirens in albino wistar rats. Methods and Material Bark and leaf part of Dolichandrone atrovirens were extracted with water and methanol. Swiss albino wistar rats were used to evaluate the in vivo effects of streptozotocin induced body weight loss, oxidative stress, hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia. Statistical analysis Data were analysed by One -way ANOVA, followed by Turkey –Kramer Multiple Comparison Test. Results Dolichandrone atrovirens extract treated animals demonstrated significant increase in body weight, decreased blood glucose levels, glycosylated haemoglobin and changes in other biochemical parameters levels when compared to diabetic control rats. Top Keywords Dolichandrone atrovirens, streptozotocin, in vivo activity, antidiabetic. Top |
