The hypoglycaemic effect of Moringa stenopetala extract was assessed in nondiabetic rabbits by blood glucose analysis. In vivo experiments were carried out in rabbits that received the test material and the standard, glibenclamide. The plant extract, although less potent than glibenclamide, was found to lower blood glucose concentration. The hypoglycaemic effect was observed to increase with time and with an increase in the dose of the extract.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
