Abstract

Saponins exhibit a wide spectrum of biological activities. Hyperglycemia
was induced by STZ. Saponin extract(300 mg/kg B.wt.) was administrated to STZdiabetic
rats. Saponin extract significantly reduced serum blood glucose, cholesterol,
triacylglycerol, liver L-MDA and significantly increased serum insulin level, In
conclusion, saponin has antidiabetic effect on STZ- diabetic rats.
