Abstract:

Excessive food consumption regarding to high calorie, obesity, cardiovascular disease, stress, and lack of exercise are risk factors for diabetes mellitus (DM). One alternative therapeutic approach in DM patients is traditional use of herbal medicines such as Physalis angulata herbs. The aim of the study was to evaluate the anti-diabetic effect of isolated compound from P. angulata in alloxan induced diabetic rats. Anti-hyperglycemic effect was investigated in normal and alloxan induced diabetic rats.

Keywords:

Physalis angulata, Diabetes mellitus, Antihyperglycemic, OGTT and herbal medicines.
