Again the hopes that traditional medicine and natural plants seem to trigger researchers in this area is yet to be discovered. This research was designed to compare the biochemical effects of some medicinal plants in alloxan-induced diabetic male Wistar rats using named plants that are best at lowering blood glucose and hyperlipidemia and ameliorating other complications of diabetes mellitus by methods of combined therapy. The results obtained showed 82% decrease in blood glucose concentration after the 10th hour to the fortieth hour.

Meanwhile, degree of significance was observed in other parameters analysed. The biochemical analysis conducted in this study showed positive result, attesting to facts from previous works. Though these individual plants extracts exhibited significant increase in amelorating diabetes complication and blood glucose control compared to glibenclamide, a synthetic antidiabetic drug. Greater performance was observed in the synergy groups. Therefore, a poly\/combined formulation of these plants extracts yielded significant result as well as resolving some other complications associated with diabetics.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2014\/203051","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,11,28]],"date-time":"2014-11-28T14:36:22Z","timestamp":1417185382000},"page":"1-13","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Comparative
