Effect of Ethanolic leaf extract of Elaeocarpus tectorius (Lour.) Poir. on Retinal Oxidative Stress in Streptozotocin-nicotinamide Induced Diabetic rats
Abstract:Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy and causes loss of vision. Elaeocarpus tectorius (Lour.) Poir. is a tree species that bears edible fruits and is traditionally used to treat diabetes. The study is aimed to investigate the ameliorative effect of ethanolic leaf extract of E. tectorius on retinal oxidative stress and aldose reductase levels in STZ-NIC-induced diabetic rats. The leaf extract was orally administered to diabetic rats once a day for about 28 days at do… Show more
