Hypoglycaemiant and anti-hyperglycaemiant effect of juscticia secunda m. vahl (acanthaceae) on glycaemia in the wistar rat
In animal experiments, it is possible to induce hyperglycaemia in healthy animals. Subsequently, the administration of drugs makes it possible to measure the evolution of this hyperglycaemia induced. It is this pharmacological method that we used in this work to evaluate the effect of Justicia secunda on healthy animals and made hyperglycaemic. The basal glucose levels ranged from 0.59 ± 0.02 g / l to 1.2 ± 0.05 g / l in fasted rats used in these different experiments. From 2 to 3 g / kg BW, AEJs induces dose-dependent hypoglycemia in normoglycaemic rats.
