The ameliorative activity of in streptozotocin-induced type II diabetes mellitus rat model.

is a medicinal plant present in West Africa in the Itsekiri speaking part of Nigeria. It is used conventionally in diabetes mellitus management. This research investigates the ameliorative activity of the aqueous leaf extract of in a streptozotocin-induced diabetic rat model.

leaf extract modulates hyperglycaemia, inhibits redox imbalance and inflammation in alloxan-induced diabetic nephropathy.

Background: leaf is used traditionally to treat diabetes and other diseases. The present study aimed to provide the modulatory effect of on hyperglycemia, inhibitory effect of redox imbalance and inflammation in alloxan-induced nephropathy in Wistar rats.

Methods: Alloxan monohydrate was used to induce diabetes by an intraperitoneal injection of (150 mg/kg).

Gongronema latifolium Benth. leaf extract attenuates diabetes-induced neuropathy via inhibition of cognitive, oxidative stress and inflammatory response.

Background: Gongronema latifolium (G. latifolium) Benth. leaves are traditionally used to treat diabetes mellitus (DM) and other diseases in Nigeria and West Africa.
