Oleander Stem and Root Standardized Extracts Mitigate Acute Hyperglycaemia by Limiting Systemic Oxidative Stress Response in Diabetic Mice

Figure 1

Effects of oleander extracts on body weight (BW) and glucose metabolism. Alloxanized T1D mice (glucose >200 mg/dL) were treated with 200 mg/kg oleander stem (NOSE) and root (NORE) extracts for 20 consecutive days, and glibenclamide (Glib) was used as standard. After the intervention, (a) BW increase of NOSE- and NORE-treated mice were lower compared to day 0, which was otherwise significantly higher in T1D group at day 20. (b) In agreement to the hypothesized antidiabetic activity, blood glucose level was decreased in the alloxanized mice due to NOSE and NORE treatment. Data were represented as mean ± SD of six measurements. , , , and NS compared to control.
