All experimental animals were induced to diabetic conditions by the administration of streptozotocin and nicotinamide dosages at 45 mg/kg body weight and 110 mg/kg body weight, respectively. For 14 days, each group was treated accordingly. The first group or negative control (NC) was treated with the administration of CMC-Na 0.5% dose 2 ml/200 g body weight; the second group or positive control (PC) was administrated with glibenclamide dose 0.09 mg/200 g body weight; the third (E1) and fourth (E2) groups were administered with the ethanol extracts of the red dragon fruit peels at dosages of 37.44 mg/200 g body weight and 74.88 mg/200 g body weight, respectively. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; After the 14-day trial, the average levels of blood glucose on the negative control group (382.92 mg/dl) experienced no decline, and the blood glucose levels amongst groups were statistically different (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;&amp;lt;0.05). Conclusion: The anti-diabetic activity of the red dragon fruit peel in the ethanol extract dose 74.88 mg/200 g body weight is statistically equal to the glibenclamide dose 0.09 mg/200 g body weight.&lt;/p&gt;

The inefficacy and multiple side effects of most synthetic anti-diabetic drugs are reported by various studies. Thus, many researchers are focused on the use of medicinal plants as safe and potent anti-hyperglycemic drugs. The aim of this study is the evaluation of the effect of Afghan senjed (&lt;em&gt;Elaeagnus Angustifolia&lt;/em&gt; L.) leaves aqueous alcoholic extract on blood glucose level of diabetic rats. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Rats were divided into 6 groups: normal, diabetic, metformin and &lt;em&gt;Elaeagnus Angustifolia&lt;/em&gt; leaves extract (EALE) groups, which received 200, 400 and 800 mg/kg doses of extract for 15 days. Diabetes was induced by single dose intraperitoneal administration of streptozotocin (STZ). During treatment, the effect of single and repeated oral administration of EALE on blood glucose level of diabetic rats was evaluated. On last day, the effect of EALE on oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was also assessed. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;All doses of EALE showed significant reduction in blood glucose level, an improvement of glucose tolerance and enhancement in body weight. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; EALE possessed an antihyperglycemic property in diabetic rats.&lt;/p&gt;

After that, various parameters including body weight, blood glucose, hematological and biochemical parameters were determined. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The results revealed that fasting plasma glucose level in 6&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; week of Nanglai fibroin, Nangnoi fibroin and Nangnoi sericin expressed a better reduction of FPG in diabetic rats compared with diabetic control groups (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;&amp;lt;0.05). All hematological parameters of each group were not different within those values (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;&amp;gt;0.05). In case of blood urea nitrogen, creatinine and alkaline phosphatase value showed that some of treated groups was different from diabetic control (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;&amp;lt;0.05), while all of treated groups showed different in cholesterol and high density lipoprotein value (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;&amp;lt;0.05). &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Silkworm powders, fibroin and sericin of three races exhibited a therapeutic potential for the reduction plasma glucose level. Treatments of silkworm powder, fibroin and sericin did not have any effect on hematological parameters. Improvement of blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, alkaline phosphatase values and lipid profiles also were also observed in the treatment groups.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">559</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Surapong Rattana&lt;sup&gt;1*&lt;/sup&gt;, Teeraporn Katisart&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Chirapha Butiman&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;, Bunleu Sungthong&lt;sup&gt;4 &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
