The duku parasite usually considered on the and often discarded because it thought to interfere growth of plant. purpose this study was see effect leaf extract reduction malondialdehyde (MDA) hyperglycemic rats.

Oral administration EEDBD BW reduced However, only 400 showed significant difference between negative control (CMC-Na), but glibenclamide normal groups, there no difference.
