Abstract
The objective of this research work was to assess the hyperglycemic and hyperlipidemiceffects of Stellaria media in alloxan induced diabetic rats using different experimental models. Standard documented protocols were used to concede the in vitro and in vivo activities. Biochemical markers studies were also done. The results of the study showed strong pancreatic α-amylase and β-glucosidase inhibition in-vitroat varying concentrations of the extract which further validated the in-vivo anti-diabetic action of the plant because of the inhibition of the above enzymes.The administration of various concentrations of the extract showedmomentous decrease in fasting blood level when compared to diabetic control. Similarly, remarkably improved hemoglobin (+20.10%), and decreased HbA1c (−48.44%) was observed when compared to diabetic control rats. The extract also caused reduced serum enzyme (ALT, ALP, bilirubin) levels and produced a succeeding recovery toward their normal values.It can be concluded from these investigations that the in-vitro and in-vivo hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic activity offers the methodicaljustification for the use of S. media in herb based anti-diabetic treatment.
期刊介绍:
Bangladesh Journal of Pharmacology (Bangladesh J Pharmacol) is an open access, video component, peer-reviewed journal of the Bangladesh Pharmacological Society (BDPS).
A scholarly publication is defined ''open access'' when there are no financial, legal or technical barriers to accessing it. Anyone can read, download, copy, distribute, print or use it in educational purpose within the legal agreements.
Peer review of a manuscript means the evaluation of research work by one or more people with similar competences. It can be open or blind. We do the single-blind peer review.
Our readers want to know the methodology used by the researchers which is very important to get the results. The video clip of one of the methodologies is prepared by the authors and submit it to publish.
