Antihyperglycaemic activity of Musa sapientum flowers: effect on lipid peroxidation in alloxan diabetic rats

Evaluation of Antidiabetic Potentials of Ficus capreifolia Extract in Alloxan-induced Diabetic Rats

“…The altered serum lipid profile in this study was, however, reversed significantly (P<0.05) following treatment with Ficus capreifolia extract after 14 and 28 days respectively. This is in agreement with the study by Pari and Uma [11]. 9 and 10 shows the mean ± SEM of atherogenic indices of normal and alloxaninduced diabetic rats after 14 and 28 days of treatment.…”

Evaluation of the Anti Diabetic Activity of Ethanol Extract of Anchomanes Difformis (Araceae) Leaves in Albino Rats

“…In this study, continuous treatment with the extract for a period of two weeks caused significant decrease in the blood glucose level of treated rats compared to untreated diabetic rats. The finding of this study corroborates the report of 16 on Musa sapientum Kuntze (Banana) which significantly showed anti hyperglycaemic action and an antioxidant effect. Banana flower was more effective than glibenclamide.…”

Antioxidant and alpha‐amylase inhibitory potentials of Cocos nucifera husk

“…Study also showed that pretreatment of cisplatin‐induced rats with chloroform extracts of C. nucifera husks inhibited lipid peroxidation and enhanced the antioxidant defense system of the experimental animals (Adaramoye, Azeez, & Ola‐Davies, ). Formation of lipid peroxidation byproducts such as malondiadehyde has been linked to reduction in concentration of reduced gluthatione in alloxan‐induced rats as evident in this study as well as other studies (Pari & Umamaheswari, ). However, treatment of rats with C. nucifera extracts increased concentration of the antioxidant biomarker (Figure ).…”
