Abstract

The hypoglycemic and antihyperglycemic activities of a hydroethanolic extract prepared from the leaves of Averrhoa carambola L. (Oxalidaceae) was evaluated in rats, through the experimental models of hyperglycemia: type 1 alloxan-induced diabetes, glucose intolerance and insulin resistance induced by dexamethasone and the chronic insulin resistance in obesity model induced by sodium monoglutamate. The hydroethanolic Averrhoa carambola extract at a dosage of 800 mg/Kg body weight did not exhibit hypoglycemic and antihyperglycemic activities in the hyperglycemic experimental models tested
