| Abstract | ||||
| The present study was designed to investigate the chemical composition of Swietenia mahagoni seeds , identification of phenolic compounds in acetone extract in mahagoni seeds, studying the fatty acids composition, and evaluation of mahagoni extracts and oil on the glucose level of diabetes rats. The chemical composition of seeds were moisture (3.6 %), crude fiber (14 %), ash (3%), crude protein (13 %), crude fat (7.4 %) and total carbohydrate (62.6 %). The fatty acids composition were lignoceric acid (C24) 38.23% followed by stearic acid (C18) 35.69%, meanwhile the unsaturated fatty acid was linoleic acid (C18:2), which accounted for ( 26.08 %). The phenolic compound in acetone extract showed that menthol and nerolidol are the major phenolic ( 12.32 and 10.06 % respectively ). Ttreatment with Swietenia mahagoni seed extracts and oil decreased significantly glucose level , also decreased significantly GOT , GPT , ALP , urea , creatinine and malondialdehyde level as compared with hyperglycemic group . | ||||
