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 5
Effects of ethanol extract of Butea monosperma (BM) on serum glucose after the sucrose load in type 2 diabetic rats. Rats were fasted for 20 h and administered orally with a sucrose solution (2.5 g/kg body weight) with or without ethanol extract of BM (250 mg/kg, 500 mg/kg, and 1000 mg/kg body weight) or Acarbose (ACB) (200 mg/Kg). Values are means and standard deviations represented by vertical bars (). Mean values marked with an asterisk (*) were significantly different from those of respective control rats () (derived from repeated measures ANOVA and adjusted using Bonferroni correction).
