Ethanolic Extract of Butea monosperma Leaves Elevate Blood Insulin Level in Type 2 Diabetic Rats, Stimulate Insulin Secretion in Isolated Rat Islets, and Enhance Hepatic Glycogen Formation
Figure 10
Effects of ethanol extract of Butea monosperma (BM) on liver glycogen, liver weight, and pancreas weight in type 2 diabetic rats after 48 days of feeding. Values are means and standard deviations represented by vertical bars (). Fasted rats were given ethanol extract of BM (250 mg/kg, 500 mg/kg, and 1000 mg/kg body weight) or Glibenclamide (GC) (0.5 mg/Kg) by oral administration for a period of 48 days. Mean values marked with an asterisk (*) were significantly different from those of respective control rats (Water control, WC) () (derived from repeated measures ANOVA and adjusted using Bonferroni correction).
