Abstract EN
The antidiabetic and antioxidant potential of ethanolic extract of Cassia nemophila pod (EECNP) was evaluated by three in vitro assays, including yeast glucose uptake assay, glucose adsorption assay, and DPPH radical scavenging activity.
The result revealed that the extracts have enhanced the uptake of glucose through the plasma membrane of yeast cells.
A linear increase in glucose uptake by yeast cells was noticed with gradual increase in the concentration of the test samples.
Moreover, the adsorption capacity of the EECNP was directly proportional to the molar concentration of glucose.
Also, the DPPH radical scavenging capacity of the extract was increased to a maximum value of 43.3% at 80 μg/ml, which was then decreased to 41.9% at 100 μg/ml.
From the results, it was concluded that EECNP possess good antidiabetic and antioxidant properties as shown by in vitro assays.
