In vivo hypoglycemic effect of ethanol extract and its fractions of Rhaphidophora glauca (Wall.) Schott leaves with area under curve (AUC) during oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)

This study was carried out to investigate the hypoglycemic effects of ethanol extract and its chloroform and ethyl acetate fractions of Rhaphidophora glauca (Wall.) Schottleaves in normal and glucose induced hyperglycemic mice (in vivo). Area under curve (AUC) was also calculated during oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Ethanol extract and its fractions of R. glauca leaves at 400 and 800 mg/kg doses significantly (P < 0.05-0.001) reduced...
