The aim of this study was to know the hypoglycaemic and hypolipidaemic activities of water extract of bungur (Lagerstroemia speciosa [L.] Pers.) leaves in alloxan-induced diabetic rat. Phytochemical studies was conducted to determinate the tannin-contents of the water extract (WE). Male Wistar rats (150- 180 9 BW) were used in this study. The rats were divided into six groups: nonnal control; diabetic control; glibenclamide; WE 0.1 g/200 9 BW; WE 0.2 g/200 9 BW; and WE 0.5 g/200 9 BW. Dried leaves of bungur extracted with boiling water (50 g/L) for 30 minutes. The extract administered orally. Fasting blood glucose, triglyceride, and total cholesterol were determined at 0, 2, 4, 6 hours after treatment. Total phenol, ellagitannin, gallotannin, and condensed-tannin were determined from the WE. The results showed that WE exhibited hypoglycaemic activity at doses 0.2 g/200 9 BW and 0.5 g/200 9 BW. The last dose showed similar hypoglycaemic activity compared with glibenclamide. All doses showed the hypolipidaemic activity higher than glibenclamide. Phytochemical studies showed that the WE containing total phenol 0.025%; ellagitannin 0.011%; gallotannin 0.0199%; and condensed-tannin 0.0167%.

Objective: To evaluate the hyperglycemic effects of Kursi Ziyabet (KZ) tablets on the rat models of diabetes mellitus. Methods: In total, 58 male SD rats were assigned randomly to six groups. All except the normal group were transformed into experimental diabetes mellitus rat models by injecting streptozocin. The hyperglycemic effect and the mechanism of Ziyabet were evaluated by body weight, food and water intake, fasting blood sugar, and related parameters by measuring the oxidative stress-related factors and lipid metabolism indicator level by the corresponding kits using the rat experimental models. Results: Compared with the model group, body weight markedly increased after 3–6 weeks of intragastric administration of Ziyabet tablets ([Formula: see text]), while the water intake significantly decreased in the same period of time ([Formula: see text]). Food intake and fasting blood sugar level also decreased with the high dosage of Ziyabet tablets ([Formula: see text]). There is no significant difference in pancreas’ MDA content of the Ziyabet groups when compared to the model group ([Formula: see text]), while significant increase in SOD level was observed in high-dosage KZ group ([Formula: see text]). The blood serum insulin and free fatty acid level also decreased in the high-dosage KZ group compared with the model group ([Formula: see text]). Conclusion: We conclude that Ziyabet tablets demonstrated protective effects on the diabetic rat models.
