Changes in body weight were determined during the 14-day treatment period, and on the last day of treatment, blood was drawn, and euthanasia was performed, removing organs for histological analysis. Biochemical parameters were measured. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The body weight of the research specimens not show statistically significant variation. In the liver, mild lymphocytic portal inflammation and moderate hepatic steatosis occurred at doses of 2000 mg/kg/day. The kidneys exhibited a mild infiltration around the renal tubules and glomeruli at the same dose. The brain showed a slight increase in the count of astrocytes with focal glial reaction at the highest dose. The stomach and heart also showed mild inflammatory processes at the dose of 2000 mg/kg/day. In biochemical parameters, statistically significant differences were observed between the dose of 2000 mg/Kg/day and the control group. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The ethanolic extract of the rhizome of Z. officinale in rats revealed histopathological changes in the liver, kidneys, brain, stomach, and heart, besides changes in biochemical parameters at doses of 2000 mg/Kg/day.&lt;/p&gt;

Current synthetic antidiabetic drugs are associated with side effects that have restricted their usage. Antidiabetic plants such as &lt;em&gt;Zingiber officinale&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Trigonella foenum-graecum&lt;/em&gt;, commonly used as medicinal herbs in India, provide an attractive alternative as a source of maltase inhibitors. &lt;strong&gt;Aim:&lt;/strong&gt; This study aimed to determine maltase inhibitory activity in antidiabetic plants in comparison with that of a synthetic drug, Acarbose, used as a positive control. &lt;strong&gt;Study Design:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;In vitro&lt;/em&gt; Enzyme Inhibition Assay. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Aqueous plant extracts were prepared using rhizome of &lt;em&gt;Z. officinale&lt;/em&gt; and leaves of &lt;em&gt;T. foenum-graecum&lt;/em&gt;. Varying concentrations of the aqueous plant extract were tested for maltase inhibitory activity using crude yeast maltase enzyme. &lt;strong&gt;Statistical Analysis:&lt;/strong&gt; Unpaired, two tailed &lt;em&gt;t&lt;/em&gt;-test was used to detect the significant difference between the mean maltase enzyme activity of the control and that of the test. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The aqueous extract of &lt;em&gt;T. foenum-graecum&lt;/em&gt; exhibited a higher potent maltase inhibitory activity with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; value of 1.05% as compared to that of the aqueous extract of &lt;em&gt;Z. officinale&lt;/em&gt; with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; value of 2.13%. Acarbose showed the highest potency of maltase inhibition with an IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; value of 0.014%. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Z. officinale&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;T. foenum-graecum&lt;/em&gt; have significant maltase inhibitory activity (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt; &amp;lt;0.05). Thus, a contributing factor to the antidiabetic property of the two plants may be attributed to their maltase inhibitory activity.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">226</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Janhavi Jatin Damani, Radiya Pacha-Gupta, Nandita Mangalore &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The ethanolic &lt;em&gt;Z. officinale&lt;/em&gt; extract is reported to have various activity such as antidiabetic, antihyperlipidemic and antioxidant activity in experimental animals. &lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; To evaluate anti-obesity effect of aqueous &lt;em&gt;Z. officinale&lt;/em&gt; extract in murine model of high fat diet (HFD)- induced obesity. Materials and Methods: Male Wistar rats fed with HFD (20 g/day/rat, p.o) for a period of 42 days were used to induce obesity. Aqueous&lt;em&gt; Z. officinale&lt;/em&gt; extract (20 mg/kg b.w.) administered orally to HFD fed rats from day 8 to 50 days for a period of 42 days. Body weight gain, serum lipids, insulin and leptin parameters were measured. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Oral feeding of the aqueous&lt;em&gt; Z. officinale&lt;/em&gt; extract (20 mg/kg) to HFD-induced obese rats for a period of 42 days resulted in significant reduction in body weight gain, insulin, leptin, lipids as compared to rats fed HFD alone. Further, the extract also showed significant increase in high density lipoprotein (HDL-C) levels.&lt;strong&gt; Discussion and Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; These results show that aqueous&lt;em&gt; Z. officinale&lt;/em&gt; extract possess significant anti-obesity potential.&lt;/p&gt;
