Abstract

Objective: This aim of this study is to investigate the antidiabetic, antioxidant and hypolipidemic potential of Bryonia multiflora Boiss. & Heldr. in streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetes in rats. Material and Methods: During 21 days, control group (NC) and diabetes control (DC) were fed only with food and water, while diabetes acarbose group (DAC) was fed with 20 mg / kg of acarbose. The DB1, DB2, DB3 groups were fed with 100 mg / kg, 200 mg/kg and 400 mg / kg Bryonia multiflora plant extract, respectively. The body weight and biochemical parameters glucose level, insulin level, glycosylated hemoglobin, total cholesterol, triglyceride, aminotransferase (ALT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), C-peptide, LDL- cholesterol (LDL-c), HDL-cholesterol (HDL-c), creatinine (CRE), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), urea (Ure) and antioxidant parameters were examined for all treated groups and compared against diabetic control group and normal control group. Results: Bryonia multiflora (BM) plant extract (100 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg) that administered in respective groups of diabetic animals for 21 days significantly reduced the blood glucose level and glycosylated hemoglobin ( HbA1c) levels in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. While the levels of insulin and C-peptide of DC group were found significantly lower (p
