The effect of the aqueous extract of Ammi visnaga (Apiaceae) on blood glucose levels was investigated in fasting normal and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats after single and repeated oral administration. The aqueous extract of Ammi visnaga (AV) at a dose of 20 mg/kg significantly reduced blood glucose in normal rats six hours after a single oral administration (P < 0.005) and nine days after repeated oral administration (P < 0.

After a single dose or 9 daily doses, oral administration of the aqueous extract produced a significant and dose-dependent decrease on blood glucose levels in STZ diabetic rats (P < 0.001), but had no effect on blood glucose levels in normal rats.

- The study investigated the effects of a 10mg/kg aqueous extract of Spergularia purpurea (SP) on cholesterol and triglyceride levels, as well as body weight, in normal and diabetic rats.
- In normal rats, SP led to a significant reduction in plasma cholesterol after both single and repeated doses, while triglyceride levels initially increased but then decreased with repeated dosing.
- In diabetic rats, SP also significantly lowered cholesterol levels with both dosing methods and reduced triglycerides after repeated administration, but it caused a notable decrease in body weight in both normal and diabetic groups after two weeks.
The effect of the aqueous extract of Retama raetam (RR) on blood glucose levels was investigated in fasting normal and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats after single and repeated oral administration. The aqueous extract of RR at a dose of 20mg/kg significantly reduced the blood glucose in normal rats 6h after a single oral administration (P<0.005) and two weeks after repeated oral administration (P<0.
