Hypolipidemic and Antioxidant Activities of Corrigiola telephiifolia in Diabetic Rats
1Faculty of Sciences and Techniques Errachidia, Moulay Ismail University, BP 509, Boutalamine, 52000, Errachidia, Morocco.
Objective:
The evaluation of the hypolipidemic and antioxidant activities of the aerial parts aqueous extract of Corrigiola telephiifolia (APAE of C. telephiifolia) in normal and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats.
Methods:
The effects of oral administration of APAE of C. telephiifolia (5 mg/kg) on the lipid profile as well as the in vitro antioxidant activity of this aqueous extract have been determined.
Results:
APAE of C. telephiifolia (5 mg/kg) reduced significantly (p<0.001) the plasma total cholesterol levels in diabetic rats. In contrast, no significant increase in plasma triglyceride levels in normal and in STZ-induced diabetic rats was observed. On the other hand, APAE of C. telephiifolia showed an antioxidant activity.
Conclusion:
The APAE of C. telephiifolia exhibits an antioxidant, cholesterol and body weightlowering activities in diabetic rats.

Pathophysiology of Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility,...
