Effect of Evolvulus alsinoides on lipid metabolism of streptozotocin induced diabetic rats
Journal Title: Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Disease - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Objective: To determine the effect of ethanolic extract of Evolvulus alsinoides (E. alsinoides) on diabetes-induced changes in lipid metabolism. Methods: The ethanolic extract of E. alsinoides on serum and tissue lipid levels were examined in control and experimental group rats. Results: Oral administration of E. alsinoides extract to streptozotocin induced diabetic rats for 45 d significantly reduced the levels of triglycerids, phospholipids, cholesterol and free fatty acids in serum and tissues, it increases the high density lipoprotein in serum as that of control. Conclusions: The ethanolic extract of E. alsinoides supplementation is useful in hyperlipidemia prevention during diabetes mellitus.
