Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the blood sugar-lowering effects of the aqueous extract from the aerial parts of Mentha pulegium (M. pulegium) in both normal and diabetic rats.
- The extract (20 mg/kg) significantly reduced blood glucose levels in STZ-induced diabetic rats and improved glucose tolerance in normal rats, with beneficial changes observed in liver and pancreas tissues.
- Preliminary phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of various bioactive compounds, suggesting that M. pulegium could be a potential natural treatment for managing diabetes.
