Evaluation of Anti-Diabetic Activity of Aqueous Extract of Coscinium fensestratum colebr Stem in Alloxan Induced Diabetic Rats

Abstract

Aims and Objectives: To evaluate the anti-diabetic activity of Coscinium fensestratum cole stem in Alloxan induced diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: Total 18 rats were selected and divided into three groups each of 6 rats. Group-I given 1% gum acacia, group-II Glibenclamide (10 mg/kg), group-III C.F stem (500 mg/kg). Blood samples were collected at different time intervals (0, 4, 6 and 8 hours) and glucose was estimated. Results: Alloxan given rats showed significant increase in glucose levels compared to control groups. Treatment with test drug significantly reduced glucose levels all the time levels compared to Alloxan group. Conclusion Coscinium fensestratum cole stem administration significantly reduced the glucose levels in Alloxan induced diabetic model.
