Hypoglycaemic effects of Parkia biglobosa (Jacq) Benth seed extract in glucose-loaded and NIDDM rats
نویسندگان
چکیده
The antidiabetic potentials of the methanol extract of Parkia biglobosa seed (Mimosoideae), its chloroform, hexane, and mother liquor fractions were evaluated in glucose-loaded and alloxan-induced diabetic rats. The methanol extract of the seed exhibited a peak percentage decrease of 64% and 44.1% in blood glucose levels of the glucose-loaded and alloxan-induced diabetic rats respectively. The blood glucose lowering effect of the chloroform fraction (65.7%; p<0.05) was significant and more than that exhibited by the reference drug glibenclamide in the alloxan-induced diabetic rats. © 2009 International Formulae Group.

Snake bites in rural Nigeria are commonly treated with plant extracts. We have studied the ability of one such traditionally used plant (Parkia biglobosa; [Jacq.] Benth., Mimosaceae) to reduce the effects of two snake venoms (Naja nigricollis, and Echis ocellatus) in several experimental models. A water-methanol extract of P. biglobosa stem bark significantly (p<0.001) protected the chick biven...
