Figure 2
Estimation of LPO product, MDA, in the kidney in different experimental groups. Higher MDA levels were noted in diabetic rats as compared to normal, nondiabetic control rats. Administration of P. niruri leaf extract resulted in decreased MDA levels in the kidney in diabetes. 200P: 200 mg/kg/day P. niruri leaf extract; 400P: 400 mg/kg/day P. niruri leaf extract; 600G: 600 μg/kg/day glibenclamide. per treatment group, as compared to normal, nondiabetic control rats, and as compared to nontreated diabetic rats.
