Evaluation of the antidiabetic action of Mangifera indica in mice

Abstract: The leaves of Mangifera indica were assessed for antidiabetic properties using normoglycaemic, glucose-induced hyperglycaemia and streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic mice. The aqueous extract produced a reduction of blood glucose level in normoglycaemic and glucose-induced hyperglycaemia, but did not have any effect on streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice. The hypoglycaemic effect of the aqueous extract was compared with that of an oral dose of chlorpropamide under the same conditions. The results of this st… Show more

“…Single oral administration of a dose of 250 mg/kg body weight produces a potent and strong hypoglycemic effect in type 2 rats. The obtained results are supported by the finding of other investigators (Sharma et al, 1997;Aderibigbe et al, 2001).…”

“…Experiment on normal, type 1 and type 2 diabetic model rats at different prandial states have been combined in this experimental approach, which screens materials for hypo-/antihyperglycemic activity as well as provide an approximate idea on the possible target tissue(s) involved. Mangifera indica has been reported to have hypoglycemic effect in both laboratory animals (Ojewole et al, 2005;Muruganandan et al, 2005;Perpetuo et al, 2003;Aderibigbe et al, 2001;Sharma et al, 1997) and human diabetic subjects (Mahabir et al, 1997). The purpose of this work was to evaluate the hypo-and antihyperglycemic effects of M. indica in normal and both type of diabetic model rats and to find out their possible mode(s) of antidiabetic action.…”

“…The leaves of M. indica L. used for antidiabetic properties using normoglycemic, glucose-induced hyperglycemia, and STZ-induced diabetic mice. The aqueous extract of the leaves of M. indica L. possesses hypoglycemic activity [27]. Oral glucose tolerance test in rats mangiferin (10 and 20 mg/kg, i.p.)…”

“…This was investigated in gut perfusion experiment where the ethanol extracts showed sudden increase and then a gradual decrease in glucose absorption. Aderibigbe et al 15 claimed that hypoglycemic effect of some plant extracts were compatible with chlorpropamide (oral hypoglycemic agents) and the action may be parts due to an intestinal reduction of the absorption of glucose. Since glucose lowering effect of some plants was clearly evident from previous study reports, glucose absorption inhibition could have been a possible mechanism responsible for the hypoglycemic effect 16 .…”
