Abstract: To study the hypoglycemic effect of flavonoids from moso bamboo leaves (FMBL) on normal and diabetic mice induced by alloxane, the mice were respectively divided into three groups:high-dose-group, middle-dose-group and low-dose-group, 0.9% saline group was choosed modle control and the anti-diabetic activity of the standard drug group(glibenclamide)was electropositive control. The results from pre-and post-treatment analysis of blood glucose showed that the concentration of blood glucose in the three groups was obviously decreased and symptom of diabetic symptoms such as, weight loss, polydipsia and polyphagia was also relieved, and the middle group(400mg/kg bw·d) was the bes. Further study showed blood glucose of the middle-dose-normal mice did not change significantly.
