Alternative medicines for diabetes; Diabetes is a serious metabolic
disorder with micro- and macrovascular complications that result in
significant morbidity and mortality. Statistical Projections for
India suggest that the number of diabetics will rise from 15
million in 1995 to 57 million in the year 2025 (King et al., 1998).
Since time immemorial, individuals with diabetes have been treated
orally in folk medicine with a variety of plant extracts. Recently,
there has been increasing interest in the use of medicinal plants.
In the present study the authors tried to investigate the anti
diabetic properties of Ocimum sanctum and Aegle marmelos by
evaluating the comparative anti hyperglycemic and hypolipidemic
activities of these herbs in alloxan induced diabetic rats. The
authors believe that these plants may complement the use of such
effective anti diabetic drug as tolbutamide or chlorpropamide in
the treatment of diabetes and also contribute to the development of
new prescription drugs for treatment of diabetes as either
biochemical models or templates for drug synthesis.
