ABSTRACT:
Objective: The study was performed to assess the antidiabetic properties of a polyherbal formulation (Kasini ashshifa) comprising of the thirteen herbals in HFD fed-low dose STZ induced experimental type 2 diabetes (T2D) in rats. Animal grouping: Healthy, male Wistar rats were studied. The rodents were separated into four groups. Group I used as positive control and Group II as negative control. Group III was diabetic rats treated with Kasini ashshifa. Group IV was diabetes rats administered with metformin. Methodology: Body weight, food and fluid intake were recorded periodically. OGTT was performed. The biochemical analysis accomplished includes fasting blood glucose, C-peptide, HbA1c, plasma insulin, and urine sugar. Insulin resistance (IR), ß-cell function and insulin sensitivity were also manipulated from HOMA-IR and HOMA ß-cell function. Results: The findings of the experiment distinctly indicate that the polyherbal formulation has significantly reduced the readings of fasting blood glucose (FBG) and HbA1c. Kasini ashshifa improves the plasma insulin and C-peptide levels. From the arithmetic data, Kasini ashshifa reduces the IR and ameliorates ß-cell function and insulin sensitivity. The antidiabetic efficacy was more noticeable in rats administered with Kasini ashshifa. Conclusion: The results obtained postulated that the Kasini ashshifa possess significant antidiabetic properties indicating the synergistic effect of herbals.
