Anti-Diabetic Activity of Gossypium Herbaceum by Alloxan Induced Model in Rats

The hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effect of ethyl ether and ethanol extracts of Gossypium Herbaceum (200mg/kg) leaves was evaluated with measurements including, blood glucose level and biochemical parameters. The extracts of the leaves was tested for its efficacy in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. Animals were induced for diabetes with Alloxan (150 mg/kg of body weight- i.p.). The extracts of Gossypium Herbaceum administered daily. The extracts were also evaluated for acute oral toxicity studies and its effect on different biochemical parameters. The extracts showed significant (p
