A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON THE ANTIDIABETIC ACTIVITY OF ETHANOLIC EXTRACT OF UNRIPEN Passiflora edulis PEEL FLOUR AND GLIMEPIRIDE IN STREPTOZOTOCIN INDUCED DIABETIC ALBINO RATS
Anurangi C. R. and Shamina S.*
Abstract Diabetes is considered as a metabolic disorder characterized by elevated level of glucose in the blood. The present study is aimed to compare the antidiabetic activity of ethanolic extract of passiflora edulis peel flour with that of a marketed product, glimepiride, in streptozotocin -induced diabetic rats. The study was performed by the measurement of blood glucose level using a glucometer. It was found that the ethanolic extract of passiflora edulis peel flour showed antidiabetic activity comparable to that of glimepiride. It can thus be inferred that ethanolic extract of passiflora edulis peel flour possesses significant antidiabetic activity. Keywords: . [Full Text Article] [Download Certificate] |
