Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo study the hypoglycemic effect of the total flavonoids in Leucaena seeds(TF).
METHODExperimental observation was performed by using various diabetic mice induced by alloxan, adrenalin, etc.
RESULTTF could significantly lower the blood glucose levels in Alloxan model mice, adrenalin model mice and hyperglycemic mice, while had no hypoglycemic effect on the normal mice.
CONCLUSIONThe total flavonoids in Leucaena seeds has hypoglycemic effect in diabetic model mice.
