Objective: To evaluate the anti-cataract potential of an aqueous whole plant extract of Heliotropium indicum (HIE) on galactose-induced cataract in Sprague-Dawley rats.
Materials And Methods: Cataract scores were recorded in 3-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats in which cataract was being induced by an oral administration of 1500 mgkg galactose twice daily for 4 weeks, and concurrently being treated with 30, 100, or 300 mgkg HIE daily over the induction period. Fasting blood glucose was monitored at weekly intervals.
