SYNERGISTIC ACTIVITY OF FICUS BENGALENSIS AND TRIGONELLA FOENUM - GRAECUM IN ALLOXAN INDUCED DIABETIC MALE ALBINO WISTAR RAT MODEL

The antidiabetic activity is determined by estimating blood glucose levels and body weights in di abetic rats. Wound healing activity was determined by excision method. There is significant reduction of blood glucose levels from 1 week to 4 weeks in ethanolic extract treated group compared to the control group. The body weights are also increase in eth anolic extract treated group when compared to control group. The ethanolic extract ointment treated group was shown significant wound healing activity in diabetic rats when compared to the control and is almost near to standard group . Here we conclude this combination of ethanolic extract of Ficus bengalensis and Trigonella foenum - graecum was showed significant antidiabetic, weight gain and wound healing activity in alloxan induced diabetic rat model.
