【 摘 要 】

According to the principles of Siddha system of medicine, the following polyherbal preparation consisting of 5 plant parts in equal ratio namely, Asparagus racemosus, Emblica officinalis, Salacia oblonga, Syzygium aromaticum, and Tinospora cordifolia was formulated to treat experimental type 2 diabetic rats. So, using plants having aphrodisiac property in the formulation is a rational approach and first of its kind, as there have been no reports so far. Phenolics and other bioactive compounds present in polyherbal preparation may be responsible for lipid-lowering effects and strong antioxidant activity. Polyherbal preparation treatment reverted the activities of glycolytic and gluconeogenic enzymes that are disturbed in diabetic rats. It is concluded that polyherbal preparation treatment improves deranged lipid profile, antioxidant status, glycogen content, and decreases lipid peroxidation, which provides stability to membrane integrity and thus favors insulin receptor to achieve better glucose tolerance through a holistic approach.
