Diabetes mellitus (DM), an endocrine syndrome characterized by high blood glucose levels due to abrogated insulin activity. The existing treatments for DM have side effects and varying degrees of efficacy. Therefore, it is paramount that novel approaches be developed to enhance the management of DM. Therapeutic plants have been accredited as having comparatively high efficacy with fewer adverse effects. The current study aims to elucidate the phytochemical profile, anti-hyperlipidemic, and anti-diabetic effects of methanolic extract D. salicifolia (leaves) in Alloxan-induced diabetic mice. Alloxan was injected intraperitoneally (150 mg kg-1, b.w), to induced diabetes in mice. The mice were divided into three groups (n=10). Group 1 (normal control) received normal food and purified water, Group II (diabetic control) received regular feed and clean water and group III (diabetic treated) received a methanolic extract of the plant (300 mg kg-1) for 28 days with a typical diet and clean water throughout the experiment. Blood samples were collected to checked serum glucose and concentration of LDL, TC, TG. The extract demonstrated significant antihyperglycemic activity (P<0.05), whereas improvements in mice's body weight and lipid profiles were observed after treatment with the extract. This study establishes that the extract has high efficacy with comparatively less toxicity that can be used for DM management.
糖尿病(DM)是一种内分泌综合征,其特征是由于胰岛素活性丧失导致血糖水平升高。现有的 DM 治疗方法有副作用,疗效也不尽相同。因此,开发新的方法来加强 DM 的管理至关重要。药用植物被认为具有相对较高的疗效和较少的副作用。本研究旨在阐明甲醇提取物 D. salicifolia(叶)在链脲佐菌素诱导的糖尿病小鼠中的植物化学特征、抗高血脂和抗糖尿病作用。将链脲佐菌素(150mgkg-1,bw)腹腔内注射,诱导小鼠糖尿病。将小鼠分为三组(n=10)。第 1 组(正常对照组)给予正常饮食和纯净水,第 2 组(糖尿病对照组)给予常规饲料和纯净水,第 3 组(糖尿病治疗组)给予植物甲醇提取物(300mgkg-1),同时给予典型饮食和纯净水,整个实验过程中均给予该饮食和纯净水。采集血液样本检测血清葡萄糖和 LDL、TC、TG 浓度。提取物表现出显著的降血糖活性(P<0.05),而在用提取物治疗后,小鼠的体重和脂质谱得到了改善。本研究表明,该提取物具有高效性和较低的毒性,可用于 DM 的管理。
