In the present study the effect of combination of basil, turmeric and aloe vera in different doses on the biochemical parameters were investigated in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. The effect of these doses on fasting blood glucose (FBG), lipid profile, urea, creatinine and BUN content were investigated in streptozotocin induced rat and found significant effect (pless than0.05). Maximum reduction of FBG level was found with high dose. It has been observed from the experimental results that reduction in TG, LDL % are highly significant (0.001less thanpless than0.000).
