Abstract :

­The aim of this study is to evaluate the hypoglycemic activity of the herbal tea combination of Momordica charantia L. and the leaves of Lagerstroemia speciosa in alloxan-induced diabetic mice. Hypoglycemic activity of the herbal tea (0.4 ml/20 g body weight) was tested in five groups of Balb/C mice with at least five animals each and the results were statistically compared with the results of CMC-Na 0.5% (negative control) and a known antidiabetic drug glibenclamide 0.013 mg/20 g body weight. Oral administration the herbal tea of M.charantia and its combination with L.speciosa leaves in ratio (2:1), (1:1), and (1:2) for 7 days exhibited significant reduction of blood glucose level in alloxan-induced diabetic mice.
