Abstract:

In this study, diabetic mice model was established by intravenous injection of 70 mg/kg alloxan. Then the mice were administered with metformin (the positive control), and ethanol extract and aqueous extract of Fructus pyhlllanthi fruit by gastric perfusion, respectively, to investigate the effects of ethanol and aqueous extracts on blood glucose level of diabetic mice. The results showed that the aqueous extract can significantly decrease the blood glucose level in diabetic mice (p<0.05), but there is only a hypoglycemic tendency induced by ethanol extract without statistical significance (p>0.05).

Key words: Fructus phyllanthi, diabetes mellitus, blood glucose, alloxan
