    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacology
    • Natural Product Chemistry

    Background:

    • Diabetes mellitus is a significant global health concern.
    • Alloxan-induced diabetes in rats is a common model for studying hypoglycemic agents.
    • Flavonoids are a class of natural compounds with diverse biological activities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the hypoglycemic activity of karanjin.
    • To evaluate karanjin's effects in both normal and diabetic rat models.
    • To assess karanjin's impact on glucose tolerance.

    Main Methods:

    • Oral administration of karanjin (2 mg/kg/day for 7 days) to normal and alloxan-induced diabetic rats.
    • Acute intraperitoneal administration of karanjin (0.5 mg/kg) in normal and diabetic rats.
    • Monitoring of blood glucose levels and assessment of glucose tolerance.

    Main Results:

    • Chronic oral karanjin treatment significantly reduced blood sugar levels in both normal and diabetic rats.
    • Acute intraperitoneal karanjin administration effectively lowered blood sugar in normal rats but not in diabetic rats.
    • Karanjin treatment improved impaired glucose tolerance.

    Conclusions:

    • Karanjin exhibits significant hypoglycemic activity in albino rats.
    • The route and duration of administration may influence karanjin's efficacy.
    • Karanjin demonstrates potential as a therapeutic agent for diabetes management.
