“…Several other experiments done with seeds (Sigogneau-Jagodzinski et al, 1967;Chivan-Nia and Ratsimamanga, 1972;Bansal et al, 1981;Kedar and Chakrabarti, 1983;Giri et al, 1985;Nair and Santhakumari, 1986;Flores et al, 1998;Prince et al, 1998;Grover et al, 2000), bark (Ratsimamanga et al, 1973), fruit (Shrotri et al, 1963;Achrekar et al, 1991;Villasenor and Lamadrid, 2006), leaves (Soares, 2000;Zanoello et al, 2002), crude ethanolic and aqueous and butanolic fractions of Syzygium cumini (Oliveira et al, 2005) reduced glycaemia in different animal models. On the other hand, this effect was not reproduced in diabetic mice, neither with leaves (Pepato et al, 2001) or barks of jambolan (Mazzanti et al, 2003).…”
