| Abstract | ||
| Saponins exhibit a wide spectrum of biological activities. Hyperglycemia was induced by STZ. Saponin extract(300 mg/kg B.wt.) was administrated to STZdiabetic rats. Saponin extract significantly reduced serum blood glucose, cholesterol, triacylglycerol, liver L-MDA and significantly increased serum insulin level, In conclusion, saponin has antidiabetic effect on STZ- diabetic rats. | ||
