Abstract
bervillea sonorae(S. Watson) Greene, is a plant native to Mexico, where its roots have been used traditionally for treating Diabetes Mellitus. The aim of this work was to establishment of cell cultures of stem explants of I. sonoraeand evaluation of the anti-hyperglycemic activity of cell aqueous extract on a murine model of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Cell extracts had 2.29 mg palmitic acid/g extracted, and other compounds with pharmacological activities like palmitoyl ethanolamide and palmitoyl tryptamine were also identified. Diabetic rats treated with aqueous cell extract decreased glucose levels from 350 mg/dL to 145 mg/dL, AST and ALT from 164 U/L to 49 U/L and 99 U/L to 53 U/L, respectively. Additionally, therewere no changes in the cellular morphology of the pancreas, liver, kidneys, and spleen. These results revealed that the cell aqueous extract from stem explants has anti-hyperglycemic activity.
