Blood-Glucose Lowering Effect Of Swietenia Macrophylla Seed Extratcts In Normal And Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats

Swietenia macrophylla (meliaceae) seeds have been used in folklore for treating various diseases including diabetes. The aim of the present work was to investigate the antidiabetic activity of the plant extracts and determine the active compound(s) that might contribute to the activity. Pulverized,...
