摘要
"Evaluation of the Antidiabetic Potential of Five Medicinal Plants in Rats". Potential antidiabetic activity of five medicinal plants indicated to diabetes was evaluated in normoglicemic rats. Metformin (500 mg/kg) and aqueous extract of Bowdichia virgilioides Kunth (EABV), Costus spicatus Swartz (EACS), Chrysobalanus icaco L. (EACI), Bumelia sartorum Mart (EABS) and Caesalpinia ferrea Mart (EACF), in a single dose of 200 mg/kg, were tested on the curve of glucose tolerance oral test. In this test, only metformina, EABV and EACF were able to inhibit the glucose-induced hyperglycemia up to 46.5, 51.7 e 48.3%, respectively. In conclusion, of the five plants tested, two plants showed anti-hyperglycemic effect that can indicate possible antidiabetic action, in according with popular use.
