Abstract
Cassia auriculata is an evergreen shrub that grows in many parts of India and in other parts of Asia. The flower, leaves, stem, root, and unripe fruit are used for treatment, especially in Ayurvedic medicine. People use Cassia auriculata for diabetes, eye infections (conjunctivitis), joint and muscle pain (rheumatism), constipation, jaundice, liver disease, and urinary tract disorders. Oral administration of Cassia auriculta leaf extract (CLEt) of diabetic rats for 45 days resulted in significant reduction in blood glucose and significant increase in plasma insulin levels. A single dose of streptozotocin (65 mg/kg body weight) produced decrease in insulin, hyperglycemia, increased lipid peroxidation (thiobarbituric reactive substances [TBARS] and lipid hydroperoxides) and decreased antioxidant levels (vitamin C, vitamin E, reduced glutathione, ceruloplasmin). Oral administration of CLEt (0.45 g/kg body weight) and for 45 days to diabetic rats significantly increased the plasma insulin and plasma antioxidants and significantly decreased the lipid peroxidation. The effect of CLEt was better when compared with glibenclamide.
