This study investigated the anti-diabetic effect of ethanolic bark extract of Khaya senegalensis in Alloxan-induced diabetic albino Wistar rats. Sixty (60) female albino rats were randomly placed into six (6) study groups of ten (10) animals designated as; nondiabetic control (NDC), diabetic control (DC), and diabetic extract treated groups (DSB1, DSB2, and DSB3) receiving varying extract concentration of 100mg/kg, 200mg/kg, and 400mg/kg body weight respectively. | Antidiabetic and antilipidemic effect of Khaya senegalensis ethanolic bark extract in alloxan induced diabetic wistar rats 2018 7 8 291-307 International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN 2319-7706 Volume 7 Number 08 2018 Journal homepage http Original Research Article https Antidiabetic and Antilipidemic Effect of Khaya senegalensis Ethanolic Bark Extract in Alloxan Induced Diabetic Wistar Rats .

Sixty 60 female albino rats were randomly placed into six 6 study groups of ten 10 animals designated as non- diabetic control NDC diabetic control DC and diabetic extract treated groups DSB1 DSB2 and DSB3 receiving varying extract concentration of 100mg kg 200mg kg and Keywords 400mg kg body weight respectively. Animals were sacrificed after 28 days of treatment and blood was obtained for biochemical analysis. Body weight indices obtained from this Phytochemicals Glucose level study revealed a decrease p 2018 7 8 291-307 changes. Genetic predisposition is also a Khaya senegalensis has been reported to factor contributing to this menace Wild et al. possess free radical scavenging activity 2004 .
