Abstract :

In the present work antidiabetic activity of Ixora macrothyrsa was evaluated. The hydroethanolic leaf extract showed significant decrease in the levels of Glucose, Urea, Creatinine, Total cholesterol, Triglyceride, LDL, VLDL and increase in the level of HDL in Sreptozotocin induced diabetic rats at a dose of 200 and 400 mg/kg body weight when administered orally for 30 days. This implies that the Phytochemicals present in the leaf extract might exert a potential in controlling lipid profile, blood glucose, Urea, Creatinine levels and lipid profile in the body
