Article Synopsis
- Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a complex metabolic disorder with no definitive treatment, but Cyperus iria has traditional uses for controlling blood sugar levels.
- A study tested the aqueous-ethanol extract of Cyperus iria on STZ-induced diabetic rats, finding it improved carbohydrate metabolism and reduced hyperglycemia and inflammation markers.
- The extract showed high levels of beneficial compounds like phenolics and flavonoids, suggesting its hypoglycemic effects may stem from its ability to lower oxidative stress and inflammation.
Present study is engrossed in identification of phyto-constituents from aerial part extracts of and appraisal of its anti-oxidant, anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory potential based upon its folktale use. The methanol and -hexane fractions of aerial parts were analysed using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) respectively. Inhibitory concentration (IC) showed better results in case of methanolic extract for both in antioxidant (IC= 15.
