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 Benth Improves the Glycemic, Antiatherogenic, and Cardioprotective Indices in Alloxan-Induced Diabetic Mice
- ChemistryAdvances in pharmacological sciences
- 2012
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

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.
