The efficacy of Momordica charantia L. (herbal agent) in treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus in rats in comparison to insulin (animal model)
Keywords:
Momordica charantia L, alloxan, insulin, hyperglycemia, hypoglycemiaAbstract
This study was done for a total (24) Black Rats, over a time of 28 days (divided into 1st, 7th. 14th and 28th day) in which (6) Rats in each group, which reflects that ALLOXAN can be caused hyperglycemia with highly significant results (P<0.0001). This increased in blood glucose level can be corrected by HERBAL DRUGS (Momordica Charantia L), with high significant effects (P<0.0001), when compared this with insulin which had high significant results in control hyperglycemia of Alloxan causes (P<0.0001).
