INTRODUCTION Diabetes mellitus is the most common metabolic disease worldwide. Nigella sativa also known as black cumin, is an emerging miracle herb with a rich historical and religious background. In the present study, we have attempted to study the hypoglycemic effect of aqueous extract of Nigella sativa on diabetes-induced rats. MATERIAL AND METHODS This preclinical study was conducted in Department of Pharmacology from August to October 2019. In this study, hyperglycemia was induced by a single intraperitoneal dose of 60 mg/kg streptozotocin in 0.1 M citrate buffer (pH 4.5). Animals were divided into five groups containing normal control, negative control, standard, test-1, and test-2. The aqueous extract of Nigella sativa was administered 400 and 800 mg/kg per oral in both the test groups for 18 days. Blood glucose level was measured at three-days interval by glucometer. Oral glucose tolerance test was done by administrating 2 gm/kg per oral glucose and the blood glucose was recorded every two-hours interval for eight hours. RESULTS An oral glucose tolerance test showed a decrease in blood glucose level at the dose of 400 and 800 mg/kg compared to the negative control group. The administration of aqueous extract of Nigella sativa for 18 days showed significant decrease in blood glucose level (p=0.001) compared to negative control group. The blood glucose level in test 1 (400 mg/kg) was significantly reduced compared to the standard group (p***<0.001). The blood glucose level in test 2 at 18th day was less significant (p*< 0.05) compared with standard group and test 1 (p**<0.01, p***<0.001). CONCLUSION The findings of the present study indicate that the aqueous extract of Nigella sativa has significant hypoglycemic effect in Wistar rats.

<p class="AbstractContent"><strong>Objective:</strong> Diabetes Mellitus is a leading illness to the society and despite of a lot of researches, not a single cure has been discovered. Most of the time, people focused on fighting diabetes and medicinal plants were utilized. The purpose of this study was to investigate the hypoglycemic effect of Scarlet Spiral Flag (<em>Costus woodsonii</em>) and to be reviewed for preclinical trials.</p><p class="AbstractContent"><strong>Methods: </strong>20 male Swiss mice were made diabetic by inducing Alloxan monohydrate. Then separated randomly into 4 groups with different treatments administered daily for 7 days; Control, Positive Control (600 µg/kg Glibenclamide), T1 (250mg/kg Scarlet Spiral Flag ethanolic extract) and T2 (500mg/kg Scarlet Spiral Flag ethanolic extract). Their blood sugar was monitored onset after 1<sup>st</sup> treatment (6<sup>th</sup>, 12<sup>th</sup> and 24<sup>th</sup> hours) and during the week within the 1<sup>st</sup>, 4<sup>th</sup> and 8<sup>th</sup> day.</p><p class="AbstractContent"><strong>Results:</strong> Both the onset and fasting blood sugar monitoring showed a significant decrease in the mean average blood glucose level of the mice.<strong></strong></p><p class="AbstractContent"><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The ethanolic extract of Scarlet Spiral Flag (<em>Costus woodsonii</em>) has a potent antidiabetic effect in Alloxan-induced diabetic mice. Since it is under the same Genus of the Insulin plant, it has a common effect in terms of lowering the blood glucose level.</p><p class="AbstractContent"><strong>Keywords: </strong>Acclimatization, Alloxan, <em>Costus woodsonii, </em>Ethanolic Extract, Oral Gavage</p>

Combination therapy is considered as a new and effective therapeutic strategy for control of hyperglycemia. The present study aimed to determine the hypoglycemic effect of Afghan Hibiscus sabdariffa L. and Carum Carvi L. hydro-alcoholic extracts either alone or in combination on diabetic rats. Streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats were administered intraperitoneally with hydro-alcoholic extracts of H. sabdariffa (75, 150 and 300 mg/kg), C. carvi (150, 300 and 500 mg/kg) and their combinations for 21 days. The Fasting blood glucose and body weight of rats were determined on 0, 7, 14 and 21st days. The results showed a significant (P<0.0001) hypoglycemic effect of H. sabdariffa extract (75, 150 and 300 mg/kg) on 7, 14 and 21th days, C. carvi extract (500 mg/kg), and their effective doses combination (75:25), especially on 7th day. Only 75 mg/kg of H. sabdariffa had positive effect on body weight loss of diabetic rats (P<0.05). One can conclude that Afghan H. sabdariffa and C. carvi hydro-alcoholic extracts and their combination have a hypoglycemic effect. However, their combinations do not have any synergic effects, so the hypoglycemic effect of H. sabdariffa was much greater and even normalized the blood glucose level.

Aim. To study the hypoglycemic effect of the Medicago Sativa leaves extract in intact rats and in rats with a glucose load. Methods. At the first stage, hypoglycemic effect of Medicago Sativa leaves extract was determined in intact rats. 50 mg/kg of metformin and 18 mg/kg of herbal anti-diabetic «Arfazetin» tea were used as comparator drugs. At the second stage, hypoglycemic effect of Medicago Sativa leaves extract was determined in rats with glucose load. Blood samples for glucose analysis were taken before and in 15, 30, 60 and 120 minutes after loading. Blood glucose level was determined by glucose oxidase method. Results. Medicago Sativa leaves extract showed hypoglycemic effect both in intact animals and in animals with glucose load. 25 mg/kg of Medicago Sativa leaves extract decreased blood glucose level in intact animals at 4, 6 and 8 hours by 1.04, 1.14 and 1.11 times compared to the baseline level; the effect was comparable with herbal anti-diabetic «Arfazetin» tea and was inferior to metformin. A single 25 mg/kg dose of Medicago Sativa leaves extract showed hypoglycemic effect in animals with glucose load and significantly reduced blood glucose level in 15, 30, 60 and 120 minutes compared to control. Conclusion. The findings suggest that 25 mg/kg of Medicago Sativa leaves extract can be used as a herbal medication in the complex treatment of type II diabetes mellitus for its hypoglycemic properties.

The present study was aimed to evaluate the anti-diabetic activity of isolated compounds from aerial parts of Ficus bengalensis in alloxan induced diabetic rats. Diabetic wistar albino rats were treated with standard drug Glibenclamide and prepared drug extract in 150 mg/kg. Hypoglycemic effect was evaluated in these rats and the efficacy of isolated compounds was administered in alloxan induced diabetic rats. At the end of study period blood glucose level were statistically analyzed based on the results. Isolated fractions produced a significant reduction in blood glucose level when compared with non-treated diabetic rats. So the present research work was confirmed that the isolated compounds possess hypoglycemic effect significantly. Keywords: Ficus begalensis, antidiabetic, allaxon induced, Diabetes mellitus.
