Dr. Sneha Rajendran* and Dr. Annem Srinivas Reddy
ABSTRACT
The present study was carried out to evaluate the antidiabetic activity of ethanolic leaf extract of Butea monosperma in alloxan induced albino rats. Albino rats of either sex were used for the study. Oral administration of ethanolic leaf extract of Butea monosperma at doses 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg body weight significantly reduced the blood glucose level. Blood glucose levels increased in alloxan induced diabetic rats but ethanolic leaf extract of Butea monosperma significantly reduced blood glucose levels.
