Antidiabetic Activity of Afobazole in Wistar Rats

Abstract: Using the streptozotocin model of type 2 diabetes mellitus in Wistar rats, we compared antidiabetic activity of anxiolytic Afobazole with that of metformin. Afobazole in a dose of 10 mg/kg reduced streptozotocin-induced hyperglycemia and polyphagia and prevented accumulation of malonic dialdehyde, being not inferior to metformin in a dose of 300 mg/kg, and was even more effective than metformin in body weight recovery, elimination of polydipsia, and preservation of these effects after treatment withdrawal.
