          Abstract

          Objetivo: valorar el efecto hipoglucemiante de un extracto acuoso de la planta entera Phyllantus niruri, hojas de Azadirachta indica y su combinación. Métodos: Se diseñó un ensayo cruzado a ciego simple, preparándose extractos acuosos de hojas de A. indica y planta entera de P. niruri, colocando 70 g en 200 mL de agua a 55-60 °C, conformando tres tratamientos: uno para cada extracto y el tercero la combinación. Como control positivo o de referencia se utilizó el extracto de A. Indica. Se emplearon 18 ratas Wistar a las que se administró el tratamiento vía oral una sola vez, a razón de 5 mL/300 g de peso. La glucemia se midió con un glucómetro One Touch Ultra antes y 2h después del tratamiento. Se aplicó la prueba ANOVA a los datos. Resultados: Hubo disminución de la glucemia con los tres tratamientos. No se encontró diferencia entre los tratamientos probados. Conclusiones: el extracto acuoso de la planta entera de Phyllanthus niruri tiene un efecto hipoglucemiante similar al extracto acuoso de hojas de Azadirachta indica. No hubo evidencia de efecto sinérgico.

          Objective: to evaluate the hypoglycemic effect of aqueous extract of Phyllanthus niruri whole plant and its combination with one of Azadirachta indica leaves. Methods: A single-blind crossover trial was design. One for each extract and the third corresponding to the combination: aqueous extracts of leaves of Azadirachta indica and whole plant Phyllanthus niruri, placing 70 g of the plant material in 200 mL of water at 55-60 ° C, three treatments were prepared. The comparison was performed using the extract of Azadirachta indica as control. Eighteen Wistar rats were used. Treatment was given orally at a dose of 5 mL/300 g. Glucose measurement was made with a glucometer One Touch Ultra before and 2h after administration of the treatment. ANOVA was applied to the data. Results: There was a decrease in blood glucose levels with the three treatments. No difference was found between the tested treatments regarding the hypoglycemic effect. Conclusions: The aqueous extract of the whole plant of Phyllanthus niruri has a similar hypoglycemic effect to aqueous extract of Azadirachta indica leaves. There was no evidence of synergistic effect.

          Alternative therapies useful in the management of diabetes: A systematic review

          Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder in the endocrine system. This dreadful disease is found in all parts of the world and becoming a serious threat of mankind health. There are lots of chemical agents available to control and to treat diabetic patients, but total recovery from diabetes has not been reported up to this date. In addition to adverse effects, drug treatments are not always satisfactory in maintaining euglycemia and avoiding late stage diabetic complications. Alternative to these synthetic agents, plants provided a potential source of hypoglycemic drugs and are widely used in several traditional systems of medicine to prevent diabetes. Several medicinal plants have been investigated for their beneficial effect in different type of diabetes. Other alternative therapies such as dietary supplements, acupuncture, hydrotherapy, and yoga therapies less likely to have the side effects of conventional approaches for diabetes.

            Acute toxicity studies of aqueous leaf extract of Phyllanthus niruri

            Phyllanthus niruri is a plant with medicinal properties. It is often used to treat mild malaria and the elimination of renal stones. However, studies on its toxicity are scarce. The study was carried out to determine if the aqueous leaf extract of P. niruri administered to female Sprague-Dawley rats would illicit evidence of toxicity. Fifteen female rats weighing 150–200 g were divided into 3 groups. Rats in Group 1 were given a single low dose (LD) of 2000 mg/kg b.w. of the extract by oral gavage within 24 hrs. Rats in Group 2 were given a single high dose (HD) of 5000 mg/kg b.w. of the extract by oral gavage within 24 hrs. Rats in Group 3 were not given any extract but drinking water and served as the control group (C). All the rats were observed for signs of toxidromes for 14 days. On the 15th day, all the rats were sacrificed. Body organs were harvested for macroscopic examination. Urine and blood samples were drawn and analyzed. Hematological tests performed included full blood count and hemoglobin. Biochemical examinations included bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total protein, albumin, globulin, alkaline phosphatse (ALP), γ-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT), urea, and creatinine. The results of the three groups were not significantly different. Examination of the various body organs did not show any abnormality. Thus no toxicity was observed at the levels administered. The LD50 of the aqueous extract is>5000 mg/kg. b.w.
