Abstract

Zanthoxylum armatum DC is an important medicinal plant of south East Asia, and has been used to treat various ailments in traditional medicine including diabetes. This study investigated the in vitro and in vivo antidiabetic and biochemical effects of extracts of Z. armatum in mice. The extracts of fruit, bark and leaf from Z. armatum were tested for α-glucosidase inhibition activity. Albino mice of either sex weighing (26-30 g) assigned into groups. Diabetes was induced by IP injection of alloxan monohydrate (150 mg/kg). The extracts (500 mg/kg) and standard (Glibenclamide 10 mg/kg) were administered to mice for 15 days. Serum biochemical parameters were monitored for the period of study. The leaves and bark extracts showed maximum α-glucosidase inhibition (96.61 ± 2.13 and 93.58 ± 2.31% respectively). The extracts treated and the standard treated groups showed significant decrease in the fasting blood glucose levels compared to diabetic control. The effect was more pronounced in mice treated with leaves extract. In the in vivo studies body weights of diabetic mice treated with Z. armatum extracts and the standard did not reduced to extent as observed in diabetic control and this difference was significant (p < 0.05).

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.
