CAT activity levels in the kidney in different experimental groups. Administration of P. niruri leaf extract at 200 and 400 mg/kg/day or glibenclamide to diabetic rats prevented decrease in CAT activity 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.
