التغيرات الفسيولوجية والكيميائية الحيوية في الفئران المصابة بمرض السكر المعالجة بالمستخلصات المركبة من نبات الأرطماسيا هيربا ألبا والأناباسيس سوريا.
Background and Objective: Diabetes is a global health problem that affects various organs such as the liver, heart and kidney. Patients
with diabetes mellitus (DM) who are unsatisfied with conventional therapy are more likely to utilize herbal medicine to improve the
effectiveness of the conventional medication. Some herbal extracts such as Artemisia herba alba and Anabasis syriaca are more likely
to prevent DM?s consequences. Therefore, the present research was designed to examine the impact of a combined extract of
Artemisia herba alba and Anabasis syriaca on blood glucose (BG) levels and lipid profile as well as kidney and liver functions in
streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Materials and Methods:Artemisia herba alba and Anabasis syriaca leaves separately were collected
and air-dried for 4 weeks at room temperature (23-27EC). A stock solution was prepared of 100 mg of dry ethanol extracts and dissolved
in 10 mL ethanol. The 36 Wistar albino rats were randomly assigned into six groups (N = 6): Control group, Streptozotocin, (STZ-diabetic
group), Artemisia herba alba with STZ (extract1 group), Anabasis syriaca with STZ (extract 2 groups), extract 1 and extract 2 (group) and
metformin group. The experiment was applied for 28 days. Results: Significant blood glucose levels reduction was observed when
administrated with combined extracts (161.03?19.6 mg dLG1
, p<0.05) compared with the STZ group with a mean value of
460.9?121.9 mg dLG1
. Significantly increased the level of HDL (67.06?38.8 mg dLG1
) compared with the diabetic group
(34.33?1.07 mg dLG1
) when administrated E1 extract in diabetic rats combined extract decreased serum triglycerides level. Various plants
extracts have not shown a significant effect on other study parameters cholesterol, LDL, AST and kidney function tests. Conclusion: The
present study showed that the combined effect of Artemisia herba alba and Anabasis syriaca extracts has shown a potential antidiabetic
and hypolipidemic impact in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rat
