Determination of Anti Hyperglycemic Effect of Andrographis Paniculata Leaves and Flower Extracts
Abstract
The aim of present study was to investigate the potential roles of Methanolic extracts of Andrographis paniculata leaves and flower on reducing the blood sugar level (BSL) in alloxan- induced rats. Oral administration of Methanolic (2 g/kg b. w.) extracts of Andrographis paniculata showed the antidiabetic properties and decreased the blood glucose level by 33.71% (p<0.0001) (leaves) and 39.69% (p<0.0001) flowers respectively in alloxan induced (40mg/kg b.w.) rats. The results were also compared with that of diabetic control rats.
