Moringa oliefera Lam. is one of the best known and most widely distributed and naturalized species of a monogenetic family Moringaceae. The ischolar_mains of plant were extracted with ethanol by soxhlet technique and aqueous extract of ischolar_mains are prepared by maceration technique. Both the extracts are subjected to phytochemical screening. Require quantity of alcoholic and aqueous extracts were obtained from the plant which is used as test drug in Streptozotocin induced diabetic model. The present investigation is undertaken to study the effect of the potential hypoglycemic effect of Moringa oliefera Lam. in Streptozotocin (STZ) induced Diabetes Mellitus.Keywords

The present study was aimed to evaluate the anti diabetic - activity of Matricaria recutita ischolar_mains against Streptozotocin (STZ) induced experimental rats. Ethanolic extract of ischolar_mains of Matricaria recutita was administered to streptozotocin induced rats. Glibenclamide was used as a standard drug. Blood glucose levels were determined after oral administration of a dose of Matricaria recutita (400 mg/kg b. wt) in diabetic groups. Blood glucose levels were determined on 0, 7th, 14th and 21st day after oral administration of ethanolic extracts of Matricaria recutita (400 mg/kg). An ethanolic extract of Matricaria recutita was found to reduce blood sugar in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. Reduction in blood sugar could be seen from 7th day after continuous administration of the extract. The effect of extracts of Matricaria recutita on serum lipid profile like Total cholesterol, triglycerides, low density, very low density and high density lipoprotein were also measured in the diabetic and non diabetic rats. There was significant reduction in Total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, VLDL cholesterol and improvement in HDL cholesterol in diabetic rats. These results indicated that Matricaria recutita possesses a hypoglycemic and antihyperlipidemic effect.Keywords

Rungia pectinata Linn, Rubia cordifolia Linn and Scoparia dulcis Linn. are reported to possess wound healing, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antibacterial activities. The formulations containing extracts of the above mentioned herbs were formulated and their wound healing activity was studied on experimentally induced open wounds in albino rats through topical route. The wound healing property of polyherbal formulation appears to be due to the presence of its active principles, which accelerates the healing process and confers breaking strength to the healed wound. It may be attributed to the synergistic action of constituent of plants present in the polyherbal formulation. Povidine iodine 5% was used as Standard drug.
