In the present study, after D‐400 treatment a significant reduction in blood sugar levels in alloxan induced diabetes was observed, an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) showed a significant lowering of AUC in streptozotocin induced diabetes in rats. There was a rise in hepatic glycogen level closer to normal after D‐400 treatment. In the pancreas of diabetic rats, D‐400 therapy showed a significant increase in islet number and beta cell count and appeared to bring about blood glucose homeostasis by increasing insulin secretion through repair/regeneration of endocrine pancreas which may be responsible for the prevention of hepatic glycogenolysis.

Problem statement: UlGen, a Polyherbal formulation, was investigated for its possible Ulcero-protective activity in ulcerogen and Cold-restraint stress induced Wister rats (Rattus rattus). Oral administration of UlGen, at a dose of 800 mg kg −1 significantly protected the onset of coldresistance stress induced ulcerations. Approach: It significantly inhibited gastric ulceration induced by alcohol and aspirin. Control group: Alcohol 80% induced ulcer was 42.00±2.30 and in UlGen treated rats showed 10.00±1.62. Using alcian blue stain to study the mucus secretion by mucosal cells carried out histological examination of gastric glandular mucosa. Results: The volume and acidity of gastric juice in pyloric-ligated rats was reduced in treated rats. Gastric volume (mL 100 g −1 ) in control rats showed 4.12±0.32 and in UlGen treated rats showed 2.50±0.20. Conclusion: UlGen, Cytoprotective effect may be due to the enhancement of defensive mechanism through an improvement of gastric cytoprotection as well as acid inhibition.
