2. INTRODUCTION
Diabetes is a global epidemic with an estimated worldwide prevalence of
246 million people in 2007 and forecasts to rise to 300 million by 20251.
Diabetes is a metabolic disorder.
It characterized by chronic hyperglycaemia with disturbance of
carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism resulting from defects in insulin
secretion, insulin action or both.
There are two main types of diabetes -
I. IDDM (insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus) - It results from the
body’s failure to produce insulin
II. NIDDM (non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus)- It occurs due
to insulin resistance, a condition in which cells fail to use insulin
properly
3. CONT...
There are symptom of diabetes –
Blurred vision, unusual thirst, Polydepsia, Polyurea
Rapid weight loss, Erectile dysfunction
It is diagnosis by the several parameters –
Fasting plasma glucose level ≥ 7.0 mmol/l (126 mg/dl).
Plasma glucose ≥ 11.1 mmol/l (200 mg/dl) two hours after a
75 g oral glucose load as in a glucose tolerance test.
Glycosylated hemoglobin (Hb A1C) ≥ 6.5%.
4. CONT...
Treatment -
In type 1 diabetes require insulin.
In type 2 diabetes treatment will vary depend on blood sugar level.
Prevention –
Good nutrients for normal body weight
sensible exercise
Test sugar level
5. LITERATURE REVIEW
Eleazu et al (2013) reported that streptozotocin (STZ) produced
cytotoxicity through DNA methylation, nitric oxide production, free radical
generation and alteration NF- κB (nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer
of activated B cells) cell signal transduction pathway.
Arunachalam K et al (2013) stated that ficus amplissima smith: bark
extract improved the diabetic condition in STZ induced diabetic rats and
significantly enhanced the level of antioxidant enzyme.
Peibo Li et al (2013) reported that the 13-week subchronic oral toxicity
study, daily doses of 50, 250, and 1250 mg/kg of naringin were well
tolerated and did not cause either lethality or toxic clinical symptoms and
changes in both sexes of rats except for slight body weight decrease.
6. CONT...
Cheng D et al (2012) repoted that Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE) possesses
antihyperglycemic, antioxidant, and antihyperlipidemic activities in STZ-
induced chronic diabetic rats, which promisingly support the use of GBE as
a food supplement or an adjunct treatment for diabetics.
Mahmoud M A et al (2012) stated that antihyperglycemic efficacy of the
citrus flavonoids, hesperidin and naringin, may be mediated via up-
regulating adipose tissue PPARγ and adiponectin in conjunction with down-
regulating adipose tissue resistin.
Rahigude A et al (2012) stated that both narigenin and pioglitazone showed
improvement in cognitive behavior against diabetes induce memory
dysfunction via depleting elevated lipid peroxide and nitric oxide and
inhibition of elevated ChE activity.
7. RESEARCH ENVISAGED
previous report suggested that
flavonoids produced antidiabetic action
in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats.
No detail study had been performed
regarding their hypolipidemic and
toxicological action.
The overall objectives of this project –
Toxicological, hypoglycemic and
molecular docking study via PPARγ
and GLUT1 receptor

of FR7 and FR8 displayed improvement in body weight
and treated with G showed increased in body weight.

than N control.
Again, we found that glycogen content was improved by

17. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
CAT is mainly responsible for the catalytic
decomposition of H2O2 to oxygen and water.
SOD is responsible for catalytic dismutation of free
radicals and decrease superoxide level.
Reduced GSH converted to disulfide glutathione
during oxidative damage.
TBARS and PC level reduced by inhibition of lipid
peroxidation protein carbonylation.
18. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Effect of FR-7 & FR-8 on AST and ALT level:
Isolated flavonoids also showed protective action on AST,
ALT levels in plasma. Serum enzyme levels were increased
during STZ treatment which was normalized during FR7 and
FR8 administration .
