Anti-diabetic activity of Eugenia jambolana seed kernels on streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.
TLDR
Administration of the ethanolic extract of kernel at a concentration of 100 mg/kg of body weight significantly decreased the levels of blood glucose, blood urea, and cholesterol, increased glucose tolerance and levels of total proteins and liver glycogen, and decreased the activities of glutamate oxaloacetatetransaminase and glutamate pyruvate transaminase in experimental diabetic rats.Abstract:Â
The present study evaluated the hypoglycemic activity of different parts of Eugenia jambolana seeds such as whole seed, kernel, and seed coat on streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Administration of the ethanolic extract of kernel at a concentration of 100 mg/kg of body weight significantly decreased the levels of blood glucose, blood urea, and cholesterol, increased glucose tolerance and levels of total proteins and liver glycogen, and decreased the activities of glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase and glutamate pyruvate transaminase in experimental diabetic rats. Whole seed showed a moderate hypoglycemic effect, and seed coat did not show any hypoglycemic effect. The hypoglycemic efficacy was compared with that of glibenclamide, a standard hypoglycemic drug.read more

Antihyperlipidemic effect of Eugenia jambolana seed kernel on streptozotocin-induced diabetes in rats.
TL;DR: EJs- kernel possesses hypolipidemic effect, which may be due to the presence of flavonoids, saponins, glycosides and triterpenoids in the extract, which is anticipated to have biological significance and provide a scientific rationale for the use of EJs-kernel as an anti-diabetic plant.

Hypoglycaemic effect of Artemisia herba alba. II. Effect of a valuable extract on some blood parameters in diabetic animals.
TL;DR: Feeding diabetic rats and rabbits with 0.39 g/kg body weight of the aqueous extract of the aerial parts of the plant for 2-4 weeks shows a significant reduction in blood glucose level, prevents elevation of glycosylated haemoglobin level and possesses a hypoliposis effect, in addition to the protection against body weight loss of diabetic animals.
