Evaluation of antihyperglycemic and antioxidant properties of Streblus asper Lour against streptozotocin–induced diabetes in rats (original) (raw)

The study investigates the antihyperglycemic and antioxidant properties of Streblus asper Lour in a rat model induced with diabetes through streptozotocin. The research finds that various extracts (petroleum ether, chloroform, and methanol) from the leaves significantly lower blood glucose levels and improve body weight and biochemical parameters. Among these, the methanol extract demonstrates superior efficacy. The findings support the traditional use of S. asoca in managing diabetes and highlight its potential for further pharmaceutical applications.
