ABSTRACT
The antidiabetic potencies of different medicinal plants (Mangifera indica, Syzygium malaccence, Ipomoea aquatica) were investigated and was compared to the hypoglycemic drugs in this study.
The plants were osteorized at a one gram of plants to 3 milliliter of water proportion. The blood glucose levels of the mice were gathered and then it was starved with constant supply of sugar solution at 50% concentration. The glucose level after sugar intake were then determined. The mice were forced to take the treatment and its blood glucose were extracted for 2 consecutive 6 hours interval.
The five by three analysis of variance proved that there is no significant difference on the effects of mango and kangkong leaf extracts with the hypoglycemic drugs. On the other hand, the effect of makopa leaf extract differed significantly.
