| Abstract | ||
| This work was performed to study the effect of crude purslane extract on some aspects of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism in normal and streptozotocin induced diabetic male albino rats. Twenty four male albino rats, were categorized into four equal groups. Group (1): normal control rats, group (2): purslane treated rats in which the rats were administrated by purslane extract in a dose of 5 gm/kg orally for three weeks, group (3):diabetic control rats and group(4): diabetic rats treated by purslane, in which the rats were administrated by purslane extract for three weeks. At the end of the experiment,the rats were scarified and blood samples were collected .The results showed significant reduction in blood levels of triglyceride, total cholesterol, LDL–cholesterol with significant increase in blood level of HDL–cholesterol, P<0.05, and non significant change in glucose or insulin level in purslane treated group compared with normal control group. There were significant reduction in blood levelof triglyceride, total cholesterol, LDL–cholesterol with significant increase in blood levelof HDL–cholesterol, and non significant change in insulin level compared with the significant reduction in blood glucose level in purslane treated diabetic group compared with diabetic control group. It is concluded that crude purslane extract has beneficial effects on lipid and carbohydrates parameters both innormal and diabetic condition. | ||
