The increase in chronic diseases has arisen interest to search for alternative treatments so that people can improve their quality of life. Thus, Carya illinoinensis is the subject of the present work which aims at determining whether it has antidiabetic activity. The plant was collected and its nuts were separated from their peels, dried and grinded and incorporated into the feed, in concentration of 6% and 10%, for the treatment of animals. The centesimal composition of this diet was also determined. From the nut was also obtained the fixed oil, for the profile of fatty acids, and the 70% hydroethanolic extract for the phytochemical analysis. The results have shown that species presents hypoglycaemic effect, high fat composition of unsaturated fatty acids and the presence of some phenolic compounds, directly related to the antidiabetic activity. Therefore, the specie presente benefits that can contribute to the binomial diet/health. Evaluation of the effects of Carya illinoinensis on diabetes L. L. Santos et al. Evaluation of the effects of Carya illinoinensis on diabetes L. L. Santos et al. Figure 7Graphic about the weight of the animals weekly during 30 days. NDnon-diabetic control group; CDdiabetic control group treated with only commercial ration; ND6group without diabetes treated with ration in concentration of 6%; ND10group without diabetes treated with ration in concentration of 10%; D6group with diabetes treated with ration in concentration of 6%; D10group with diabetes treated with ration in concentration of 10%.
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.
