Antidiabetic activity of hydroalcoholic extract leaf of Kalanchoe pinnata and seed of Pongamia pinnata in STZ induced-diabetic rats

Abstract

Methods: Diabetes was induced in Wister rats by intraperitoneal administration of STZ (55 mg/kg.b.w). Wistar rats in each were divided into seven groups and these animals were used for the study. Serum biochemical parameters such as, blood glucose determination, total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL), total protein (TP) and high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol were estimated. The activities of liver functional markers were measured.
