The Effect of Extracts of the Arous Zand Plant on Several Biochemical Variables in Rats With Induced Diabetes

Abstract

               This study examined the extraction of several active compounds from the Ammi majus plant using three extracts (organic, alcoholic, and aqueous). These extracts were then used on five groups of rats with alloxan-induced diabetes (control, positive control, and three extract-treated groups). Several biochemical variables were monitored (sugar, total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoproteins (HDL), low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL)). Significant differences were observed in these variables when comparing the control groups with the groups of infected rats treated with the extracts. The results showed that the organic extract was the best type of extract due to its content of several important compounds, such as apigenin, p-coumaric acid, sinapic acid, and ferulic acid.
