In rats, hyperlipidemia was induced by feeding High Fat Diet (Lab diet: Dalda: Coconut oil = 4:3:1) and type 2 diabetes was built inside by injecting Alloxan. The sample N. nucifera leaf powder was added in different percentages with the regular Lab Diet for 21 days feeding. In case of hyperlipidemia developed groups, feeding of Nelumbo nucifera leaf powder at, 30% (70% Lab diet + 30% Sample), 20% (80% Lab diet + 20% Sample) and 10% (90% Lab diet + 10% Sample) showed varied but in a nutshell significant (p Nelumbo nucifera leaf powder for 21 days resulted significant decrease in the blood glucose levels of alloxan-induced diabetic rats. Both the percentages of Nelumbo nucifera leaf powder having 20% with 80% Lab Diet and 10% with 90% Lab Diet significantly (p Nelumbo nucifera powder was found to be exerted to the more prominent effects in lowering the blood glucose level. Nelumbo nucifera leaf powder had 75% efficacy rate in lowering the blood glucose level in comparison to the drug control group treated with glibenclamide which was found with the decreasing capability up to 66%. Although not significant, it, based on the data, can be stated that the sample is endowed with the quality of decreasing capability of body weight. Thus, results of the experimental study reveal that the leaf of Nelumbo nucifera has potent hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic properties.展开更多

Hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects of bitter kola (<em>Garcinia kola</em>) seed extract on alloxan-induced diabetic rats were studied as a local product. Albino rats weighing about 200 g were investigated in groups using 200 - 800 mg/kg weight of bitter kola seed extract and the sample examined for glucose and lipid profiles using enzymatic methods and statistically analyzed using statistical package for social science (SPSS) windows, version 20.0. The results were expressed as the Mean ± SD. The results for the serum glucose and low density lipoprotein cholesterols (LDL-C) concentrations of untreated diabetic rats, and treated rats showed a significant (P < 0.05) progressive decrease from 200 - 800 mg/kg when compared to the control rats. Total cholesterol (TC) and triglycerides (TG) concentrations for untreated diabetic rats, and treated rats showed increase in concentration which was not significant (P > 0.05) from 200 - 800 mg/kg weight when compared with the controls. High density lipoproteins (HDL-C) concentrations for untreated diabetic rats, and treated rats showed increase in concentration which was significant (P < 0.05) from 200 - 800 mg/kg weight when compared with the controls. This study confirms the hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects of bitter kola (<em>Garcinia kola</em>) seed extract.展开更多

Methods: All rats were divided into groups A to H (n = 48, 06 rats per group). They were made diabetic by intraperitoneally injecting alloxan monohydrate 150-mg/Kg-body weight. Groups A and B were provided with normal diet and glibenclamide plus normal diet respectively. C to H groups were provided with different percentages (70%, 50% and 30% of regular diet) of samples. Different biochemical parameters (blood glucose level, serum total cholesterol, triglyceride (TG), LDL, HDL, serum insulin, hepatic glycogen) were observed for 21 consecutive days (at eight days interval). Results: Oral administration of both of the Momordica charantia (wild type) fruits and Coccinia cordifolia’s leaf significantly (p nificantly (p level and LDL in type 2 diabetic rats. HDL levels were increased slightly and hepatic glycogen level was more or less unchanged in both groups at 22nd day. Conclusion: Though both samples show hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic activities, 50% wild type fruits of Momordica charantia were more significant展开更多
