Evaluation of phytochemicals and anti-diabetic activity of abelmoschus esculentus
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Pharmacology & Pharmacotherapeutics (IJRPP) - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Okra (Abelmochus esculentus) is an economically important vegetable crop grown in tropical and subtropical parts of the world. In the present we investigated the phytochemical analysis of aqueous and ethanol extract of okra and the invivo antidiabetic effect of aqueous extract of Abelmoschus esculentus against Alloxan induced diabetic rat. The standard drug glibenglimide (5 mg/kg) and Abelmoschus esculentus (150 mg/kg) were dissolved in water in given orally. The blood glucose levels of rats were noted at regular intervals of time. A gradual decrease in the blood glucose levels was observed by regular feeding of ―okra‖ Abelmoschus esculentus (ladies finger) fruit extract for about twelve days
