To investigate the effect of methanolic root extract (MREt) of Rauwolfia serpentina on hyperglycemic, haematinic and antioxidative dysfunction associated with alloxan-induced diabetes. Mice were divided into normal and alloxan-induced diabetic groups, the second group was sub-divided into three MREt (10, 30 & 60mg/kg) treated test groups and three diabetic (distilled water 1ml/kg), negative (0.05% dimethyl sulphoxide 1ml/kg) and positive (glibenclamide 5mg/kg) control groups. Each treatment was…

Methanolic Root Extract of Rauwolfia serpentina Lowers Atherogenic Dyslipidemia, Arteriosclerosis and Glycosylation Indices in Type 1 Diabetic Mice.
TLDR
The obtained results indicated the therapeutic potential of MREt in lowering the risk of atherogenic dyslipidemia, arteriosclerosis and glycosylation in alloxan-induced type 1 diabetic mice.
Therapeutic role of Rauwolfia serpentina in minimizing the risk of glycosylation and associated biomarkers in experimentally induced type 1 diabetic mice.
TLDR
Administration of test doses of HyMREt were significantly reduced the glycosylation, oxidative stress and anemia caused by alloxan intoxication in mice.
Ameliorative effect of hydro-methanolic extract from roots of Rauwolfia serpentina on some biochemical parameters of type 1 diabetic mice.
TLDR
Findings of present study support the hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic potential of HyMREt of R. serpentina in type 1 (alloxan induced) diabetic mice.
Centratherum anthelminticum seeds reverse the carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatotoxicity in rats
TLDR
The ESEt was found to be hepatoprotective and antioxidative in nature and proved the liver regenerating property of ESET by showing decrease in fatty deposition, necrosis and inflammation around the central vein of liver lobules.

Antidiabetic and haematinic effects of Parquetina nigrescens on alloxan induced type-1 diabetes and normocytic normochromic anaemia in Wistar rats
TLDR
Parquetina nigrescens demonstrated antidiabetic property by reducing the elevated blood glucose in alloxan treated rats which is comparable to animals that received the standard drug.
Methanolic Root Extract of Rauwolfia serpentina Benth Improves the Glycemic, Antiatherogenic, and Cardioprotective Indices in Alloxan-Induced Diabetic Mice
TLDR
MREt improves the glycemic, antiatherogenic, coronary risk, and cardioprotective indices in alloxan-induced diabetic mice and is effective in improving the body weights, glucose and insulin levels, insulin/glucose ratio, glycosylated and total hemoglobin in test groups as compared to diabetic control.
Methanolic Root Extract of Rauwolfia serpentina Improves the Glucose Tolerance in Wister Mice
TLDR
The results indicated that the MREt (10 - 60 mg/kg) was non-sedative and effective in lowering the blood glucose level in mice but showed lethal effect in terms of sedation and mortality at doses ≥ 100mg/kg, therefore, MRET of R. serpentina in small doses can improve the glucose tolerance either at pancreatic or extra-pancreatic level.
Berberine, an isoquinoline alkaloid in herbal plants, protects pancreatic islets and serum lipids in nonobese diabetic mice.
TLDR
It is suggested that berberine administration in vivo protects pancreatic islets and serum lipids in NOD mice.

TLDR
Both the treated groups showed significant decrease in TBARS and hydroperoxides formation in brain, suggesting its role in protection against lipidperoxidation induced membrane damage, suggesting a possible antiperoxidative role for Scoparia dulcis plant extract.
