✦ Synopsis

Specific activities of both intestinal and renal dissacharidases, such as sucrase, maltase, and lactase, were altered in diabetic rats. Our study was focused to evaluate the effect of feeding quercetin -a bioflavanoid on intestinal and renal dissacharidases in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. The rats were fed with 0.1% quercetin in diet. A reduction in intestinal maltase and sucrase, activities in quercetin-fed diabetic rats was observed in contrast to the increased activities in the starch-fed diabetic rats. A significant amelioration in renal dissacharidase activities in quercetin-fed diabetic rats was observed when compared to decreased activity in starch-fed diabetic rats.

The antidiabetic activity of Leucas lavandulaefolia Rees (Family -Labiatae) extract on streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rats has been investigated. A methanol extract of the herb at doses of 200 and 400 mg/kg, and glybenclamide (1 mg/kg) were administered concurrently to STZ-diabetic rats. The
