Objective:To investigate the ameliorative role of Tetrapleura tetraplera(Schum and Thonn)Taub(T.tetraplera)leaf in hyperglycemia with associated conditions like oxidative stress,kidney damage and disorders in lipid metabolism.Methods:Five groups of five rats each intraperitoneally received the following treatment schedules for 7 d:untreated normal control,untreated alloxan-diabetic control,diabetic treated with glibenclamide,normal rats treated with extract(50 mg/kg)and diabetic rats treated with the extract.Evaluations were made for fasting blood sugar,body weight changes,malondialdehyde,aspartate aminotransferase,alanine aminotransferase,bilirubin,superoxide dismutase,catalase,lipid profile,packed cell volume,hemoglobin,urea and creatinine in all the rats.Results:Whereas the untreated diabetic rats showed a significant decrease(P<0.05)in packed cell volume,superoxide dismutase,catalase and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol with a concomitant increase in the levels of malondialdehyde,fasting blood sugar,aspartate aminotransferase,alanine aminotransferase,bilirubin,urea and creatinine,administration of methanolic extract of T.tetraplera leaf or glibenclamide alleviated these altered parameters in the treated rats.Conclusions:Methanolic extract of T.tetraplera leaves possesses a potent capacity for treatment of diabetes and the accompanying complications,including oxidative stress and hyperlipidemia.
Objective: To investigate the ameliorative role of Tetrapleura tetraplera (Schum and Thonn) Taub (T. tetraprara) leaf in hyperglycemia with associated conditions like oxidative stress, kidney damage and disorders in lipid metabolism. Methods: Five groups of five rats each intraperitoneally received the following treatment schedules for 7 d: untreated normal control, untreated alloxan-diabetic control, diabetic treated with glibenclamide, normal rats treated with extract (50 mg / kg) and diabetic rats treated with the extract. Evaluation made for fasting blood sugar, body weight changes in malondialdehyde, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, bilirubin, superoxide dismutase, catalase, lipid profile, packed cell volume, hemoglobin, urea and creatinine in all the rats. Results: Whereas the untreated diabetic rats showed a significant decrease (P <0.05 ) in packed cell volume, superoxide dismutase, catalase and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol with a concomitant increase in the levels of malondialdehy de, fasting blood sugar, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, bilirubin, urea and creatinine, administration of methanolic extract of T. tetrapeptide or glibenclamide alleviated these altered parameters in the treated rats. Conclusions: Methanolic extract of T. tetrapeptide leaves possesses a potent capacity for treatment of diabetes and the accompanying complications, including oxidative stress and hyperlipidemia.
