Abstract EN
The study was carried out to evaluate the hypoglycemic effect of Artemisia herb aqueous extract on postprandial blood glucose in normoglycemic and dexamethasone-induced hyperglycemic wistar rats.
Sixty adult male wistar rats were used; rats were assigned to six equal groups (10 per each).
Hyperglycemia had been induced in 40 rats by injection of single dose of dexamethasone (8 mg/2 ml, s.c.).
Normal groups drenched the herb extract orally and with drinking water in 100%, and 50% concentration (NA100%, NA50%) respectively.
After induction and ensuring of hyperglycemia, distil water (DW), and the (PIA100%, PIA50%) treated groups with herb extract 100%, 50% concentration respectively, finally the (M) group (metformin 500mg/ml) was treated by drenched with metformin 500 mg orally for 10 consecutive days for all group.
Results were revealed that drenching of Artemisia herba- alba herb 100% aqueous extract has a highly significant (p<0.01) hypoglycemic effect on postprandial blood glucose in both normoglycemic and hyperglycemic rats comparing to normal values and to metformin respectively, whereas hypoglycaemic effect of Ah extract 50% was significant (p<0.05) on postprandial blood glucose in normoglycemic rats comparing to normal values and highly significant (p<0.01) in hyperglycemic rats comparing to metformin.
It can be concluded that drenching of aqueous extract of Ah has potent hypoglycemic effect in experimentally induced hyperglycemic rats.
