✦ Synopsis

A decoction of Ficus cwicu Significantly lowered plasma triglyceride levels in rats with insulin-dependent diabetes (streptozotocin sOmg/kg body weight) when it was administered orally (357*206mg/dL before administration and 81 *81 mg/dL 3 weeks after administration,p<O.Ol, n =ll). The plasma triglyceride levels in diabetic rats were also lower when the Gicur c&u extract was administered intraperitoneally (608k391 mg/dL before administration; 444*310 mg/dL 90 min after administration; and 106*129 mg/dL 48 h after administration; p<0.005, n =7). The cholesterolaemia remained unchanged.
