Screening of the Seed of Picralima nitida for Hypoglycaemic Activity
Pakistan Journal of Biological Sciences, 2007 The seed extract of picralima nitida was screened for hypoglycaemic activity. The hypoglycaemic activity was evaluated in both normoglycemic and alloxan-induced diabetic rats, using glibenclamide as a reference drug. In both normoglycaemic and alloxan diabetic groups, 250 mg kg(-1) of the extract, 5 mg kg(-1) glibenclamide and a mixture of the extract (
