| Abstract: | Several extracts from stem and flower of Lythrum salicaria were evaluated for their hypoglycemic activity in rats. Results indicate that ether extracts from stem or flowers at a dose equivalent to 10 g/kg of crude plant material caused a significant reduction in blood glucose 4 h after oral administration and that this effect was associated with an increase of circulating insulin. The effects of extracts on lipid and carbohydrate metabolism were also studied. |
