Abstract

Diabetics Mellitus is a major problem for city people worldwide. The objective of this study is finding the anti-diabetic and anti-hyper lipidaemic activity by using Carica papaya leaves. This leaves are not generally eaten but this leaves were eaten during dengue fever. The leaves extract is used for the treatment of diabetes and cancer. This leaves were collected from different place of Bangladesh and made methanolic extract then this extract was feed four groups of mice. The results showed that there was a significant (p<0.001 to p<0.05) reduction in blood glucose concentration (mmol/L) by the methanolic extract of C. papaya leaves at dose 100 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg and glibenclamide (used as standard) 5mg/kg body weight. C. papaya leaves extract also regulated the serum lipid profile levels significantly (p<0.001) at same dose in experimental model of diabetes mellitus. The level of serum SGPT, SGOT and CRP were also seen change to the normal level notably (p<0.001) by the oral administration of methanolic extract of C. papaya leaves. In conclusion this research finding indicate that the methanolic extract of Carica papaya leaves contains bioactive substances with hypoglycemic potency.
