Antidiabetic Activity of Artemisia amygdalina Decne in Streptozotocin Induced Diabetic Rats

Table 4

Effect of the extracts of Artemisia amygdalina and glibenclamideon feed intake and fluid intake of the rats.

Groups	Water consumption; (mL/day)	Food consumption; (g/day)
Normal (water)	24±4.02	19.34±2.36
Diabetic (water)	65±7.60	29.67±1.23
Hydroethanolic extract (250 mg/kg b. w)	46±5.37	25.33±3.30
Hydroethanolic extract (500 mg/kg b. w)	39±7.16^∗∗	23.56±3.42^∗∗
Methanol extract (250 mg/kg b. w)	49±4.02	24.24±2.60
Methanol extract (500 mg/kg b. w)	44±4.92^∗∗	22.87±2.01^∗∗
Glibenclamide (3 mg/kg b. w)	44±6.71^∗∗	22.33±1.23^∗∗

The values are expressed as mean ± SEM; 𝑛=5 in each group. ^∗∗𝑃<0.01 as compared with diabetic control at the same time (one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparison test).
