Abstract
The study investigated the effect of ethanolic leaf extract of Euphorbia thymifolia on some biochemical indices of alloxan-induced diabetic male albino wistar rats. Albino rats weighing 106 – 129g were randomly assigned 6 groups of 5 rats each. Diabetes was induced in groups 1-5 rats through intraperitoneal injection of 150mg/kg body weight of alloxan monohydrate. Groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 were treated with 500, 1000,1500mg/kg of Euphorbia thymifolia and 50mg/kg of metformin respectively. Groups 5 and 6 served as diabetic control and normal control respectively. Treatment lasted for 21days. All rats were given free access to feed and water ad libitum. Animals were sacrificed and blood obtained via cardiac puncture for biochemical assay. Treatment with Euphorbia thymifolia extract revealed a significant decrease (p<0.05) in blood glucose when compared to the untreated group. CAT, SOD and GPx activities were significantly lower (p<0.05) in untreated diabetic rats when compared to the normal. Serum TC, TG and LDL-C showed a significant increase (p<0.05) with a concomitant decrease in HDL-C in untreated diabetic rats. Treatment with Euphorbia thymifolia significantly ameliorated these biochemical indices. This suggest that Euphorbia thymifolia possess therapeutic potentials and could be applied for the management of diabetes and its associated complications.
