METHODS
Ethanol and a Soxhlet
BACKGROUND
The insulinotropic activity of the combined root and stem of Gongronema latifolium (Asclepiadaceae) was evaluated to justify its African ethnomedicinal use in the management of diabetes.
METHODS
A methanolic extract and its chromatographic fractions (A1 -A6 ) were tested for
OBJECTIVE
This study evaluated the anti-hyperglycemic effect of the methanol extract of Gongronema latifolium leaves singly and in combination with an oral hypoglycemic agent; glibenclamide.
METHODS
The plant material was extracted with methanol for 48 h using cold maceration and concentrated in
Gongronema latifolium (G. latifolium) Benth. leaf is traditionally used to treat diabetes mellitus (DM) and other diseases in Nigeria and West Africa. This study was performed to evaluate the neuroprotective effect of aqueous extract of G. latifolium leaf against DM by enhancing Background Metabolic disease like diabetes mellitus is on the increase in developing countries due to lack of access to orthodox medicine owing to its high cost. Health benefits of culinary vegetables cannot be overemphasized. This study therefore aims to profile the hypoglycaemic potentials of 12
