abstract

objective: diabetes mellitus is the most common metabolic disorders with severe impact on quality of life. reducing serum glucose levels and normalization of serum lipid is of great clinical importance for treating diabetes. to our knowledge, there are not any evidences about the anti-diabetic action of capparis spinosa root. in the present study the effects of the c. spinosa root extract on diabetic metabolic disorders have been studied in experimental diabetes. materials and methods: rats were divided into six groups: normal control (nc), diabetic control (dc), diabetic rats receiving 0.2, 0.4 g/kg of plant extract or 0.6 mg/kg glibenclamide (groups d0.2, d0.4 or dg respectively). a normal group of rats was also designed to receive 0.2 g/kg of plant extract (n0.2). rats were rendered diabetic (streptozotocin 60 mg/kg, i.p.) and treated with 0.2, 0.4 g/ kg of plant extract or glibenclamide for four weeks. at the end of the experiment, blood was drawn through heart puncture under deep anesthesia. weight was measured weekly, glucose levels were measured at the first and fourth week and lipid profiles, insulin and liver enzymes at the end of the study. results: glucose levels significantly decreased after treating with plant extract (p=0.003). however, insulin levels did not increase in any treating groups. plant extract could significantly raise hdl and reduce levels of ldl and liver enzymes (alt and alp). conclusion: these results showed that c. spinosa rootextract could improve diabetic related metabolic derangement such as hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, and elevated liver markers in an insulin-independent manner.

Introduction: In this study, we evaluated the antidiabetic and antidiabetogenic effect of saffron against diabetes induced by artificial dye tartrazine on normal male rats. Methods: Dried saffron was macerated for 12 hours in distilled water before usage and crude extract was used to treat male rats. Rats were divided into 5 groups consisted of 6 rats and treatment was performed daily a...
